Summary
A business council representative reported a well-attended holiday social and announced several incoming or new local businesses — including Taste, Cellar and Pantry; Blue Basil floral workshops; and Urban Links, a private-membership golf simulator slated for the former 4 Times Truck Center site.
During the visitors and communications portion of the Fort Thomas meeting on Dec. 15, 2025, Unidentified Speaker 2 delivered the business council's final report of the year, highlighting a successful holiday social and several local business openings and planned ribbon cuttings.
Unidentified Speaker 2 summarized the holiday social as a "progressive party" that began at Fort Thomas Coffee and continued elsewhere, saying it had a strong turnout and positive feedback. The speaker noted that Christine Smalley of Fort Thomas Coffee will chair next year ("this will be my last report here because Christine Smalley from Fort Thomas Coffee sits over as chair at the beginning of the year").
The report named new or incoming businesses: "Taste, Cellar and Pantry" (noted as having the same ownership as Grassroots and Vine), a floral-design business referred to as "Blue Basil" offering workshops, and "Urban Links," a private-membership golf simulator planning to occupy the first floor of the former 4 Times Truck Center location. Unidentified Speaker 2 said ribbon cuttings will be scheduled once the businesses are operational.
No formal actions or votes were associated with the business council report in the provided transcript. The council transitioned from these announcements to the next agenda items after the presentation.
