MONROE — LCNB National Bank will anchor a new $6 million, 30,000-square-foot retail project, expected to include restaurants and offices on Interstate 75 and Ohio 63, a half mile from Cincinnati Premium Outlets. The bank, which is projected to bring 200 jobs, is scheduled to be completed by April, said John Westheimer, president and owner of Cincinnati Commercial Contracting, the project’s developer.

Monroe City Manager William Brock said LCNB National Bank will help spur more development on I-75 and Ohio 63.

“This land right here is primed for continued growth around the interchange and obviously we brought one business in as an anchor, and with the road that is going in, it will spur other development,” Brock said during a groundbreaking ceremony Friday.

Jim Emig, owner of Jim Dandy’s Family BBQ on Sharon Road in Sharonville, attended the groundbreaking and said he’s had preliminary talks with the city about opening a second location along I-75, which is traveled by an estimated 120,000 vehicles per day.

“I think there’s interest, but they can’t get too worked up, and they don’t want to make promises,” Emig said.

Monroe Mayor Robert Routson, members of the city’s development department, Bill Triick, who heads the Chamber of Commerce serving Middletown, Monroe and Trenton, officials from Lebanon City National Bank and Cincinnati Commercial Contracting also attended the event.
