ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, OH (FOX19) - The Hamilton County Engineer's Office has just reopened all lanes of Kellogg Avenue between Four Mile and Five Mile Roads, after reconstruction that lasted more than three weeks.

On June 27, the road was shut down on an emergency basis because it was starting to crumble after the persistent heavy rains of late spring.  One lane on each side of the road was opened on July 6th.

That stretch of road serves as a way to reach Riverbend, Coney Island, and River Downs from the east.

WASHINGTON, DC (FOX19) - U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan Thursday announced HUD will speed federal disaster assistance to the State of Ohio and provide support to homeowners and low-income renters forced from their homes following severe storms and flooding in April and May.

Wednesday, President Obama issued a disaster declaration for Adams, Athens, Belmont, Brown, Clermont, Gallia, Guernsey, Hamilton, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Pike, Ross, Scioto, Vinton, and Washington Counties.  The President’s declaration allows HUD to offer foreclosure relief and other assistance to certain families living in these counties.

“Families who may have been forced from their homes need to know that help is available to begin the rebuilding process,” said Donovan.
