A portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold will benefit the Arts in Healing program at the Medical University of South Carolina and Just Be You, which is a local nonprofit 'dedicated to empowering teens with confidence, self-love, and self-compassion.'

CEO Joey Haselmayer describes why big companies rely on off-site digs for some of their most important functions. 5) Cincinnati's newest music festival anticipates huge crowd The Voices of America Country Music Fest in West Chester Township, which is in its third year, is expected to dazzle this weekend with headliners including Carrie Underwood, Darius Rucker, Hardy, Bailey Zimmerman, Darius Rucker, Shaboozey, Carly Pearce and more. On the calendar Want a chance to connect with the Business Courier's news team? You're in luck. On Thursday, Aug. 14, the Courier is hosting a Meet the Newsroom event at the Scripps Center. Our reporters will be available in both our newsroom and our sponsor, UB Greensfelder's office, where you'll gain insights into what makes a compelling story and learn the most effective ways to share your news with our team.

Nominations for individuals are here, and for organizations are here. This day in history 1981: Roger Federer, the maestro who turned tennis into a religious experience, is born. What I'm reading Lord of the Rings What I'm listening to "I Remember" by Purple Disco Machine What I'm watching "Wednesday" Season 2 on Netflix The importance of community development corporations You might roll your eyes or yawn at mention in a Business Courier story of this or that lowly nonprofit community development corporation, or CDC. The acronyms are tough enough to muddle through without there being two CHCURCs in the city – the Clifton Heights Community Urban Redevelopment Corp. and the College Hill Community Urban Redevelopment Corp. And really, who cares what these entities do? Seems like they're just out there filling flower boxes and advocating for speed bumps. But in fact they do a lot more than that, and in many ways, they've never been more crucial to commercial real estate development in the city. It's tough to be a developer right now, and that's true of almost every city in the country. Costs remain high – for labor, materials, land and debt – and outspoken community pushback is more than just a nuisance, it's a deterrent, making a real difference in what and where developers choose to build. In such a time of enormous risk – and risk aversion – CDCs can step in to fill important roles in the pre-development process. They can perform land assembly. They can seek out site-readiness and building stabilization grants. They can bring in municipal partners and leverage the help of local land banks and port authorities. They can perform consensus building through community input sessions. And they can bid out the sites to prospective developers, who may be more inclined to pursue certain projects the CDC's ground-laying work has taken that much risk out of the project. Here are four recent examples (of many) of CDCs helping to move projects forward, bringing new life to Cincinnati's historic neighborhoods: The Pleasant Ridge Development Corp. has filed permits to demolish multiple properties in the neighborhood's business district, including one that's been an eyesore for years, hoping to create a standout mixed-use project at 'one of Cincinnati's best intersections.' The College Hill Community Urban Redevelopment Corp. is hoping to entice a developer to build a mixed-income project on land near its rapidly densifying central business district, where development momentum is taking off again post-Covid-19 pandemic. Northsiders Engaged in Sustainable Transformation has acquired a historic former theater and expects to proceed with building repairs and stabilization before turning it around into either a commercial space or community asset. Lastly, Mount Airy CURE is about to demolish six blighted buildings with a notion of bringing in a developer at one of the most prominent sites in the neighborhood, where there hasn't been any new development in decades.

Musikfest, Phillies alumni weekend, Lord Huron, 2nd Street Festival: Things to do in Philly this weekend
The weekend is here, and Philadelphia is more than ready for it! From Phillies alumni celebrations in South Philly to a Grammy Award-winning artist performing down in South Jersey, there's something on the docket for everyone this weekend. Musikfest 2025 is also officially underway in Bethlehem, as is BlackStar Film Festival in the City of Brotherly Love. That's just a teaser for an incredibly vibrant weekend in the Philadelphia region. Here's what else is going on. A sure sign of summer is back in the Lehigh Valley — it's Musikfest 2025! This 10-day festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is nothing short of action-packed, featuring performances by A-list headlining acts like country musicians Riley Green and Darius Rucker, as well as iconic bands like Third Eye Blind and The Black Keys. The festival hosts over 500 free performances for the public across 15 stages, plus 11 ticketed headliner shows. Beyond the music, this summer scene is a celebration of the arts, food and creativity. The festival kicked off on Thursday night with a plethora of performances, including a set by Megan Moroney. Friday will be headlined by Riley Green, Saturday by The Avett Brothers, and Sunday by Darius Rucker. A full schedule for the festival is available online. A big weekend is here for the Phillies: a celebration of a core member of their golden era, the GM who helped build the team's 2008 World Series team, honoring Hall of Fame slugger Dick Allen, a premier pitching matchup and Sunday Night Baseball. The Phillies will kick off alumni weekend Friday night by inducting Jimmy Rollins and Ed Wade into the team's Wall of Fame. The Phils expect 54 alumni to be in town this weekend for their series against the Detroit Tigers. Friday could also be the first game fans get to see new closer Jhoan Duran and outfielder Harrison Bader in a Phillies uniform. Before Saturday's game, the Phillies will have an on-field presentation celebrating Allen's induction into the Hall of Fame. Saturday also features one of the most intriguing pitching matchups in baseball: Zack Wheeler (9-4, 2.56) vs. Tarik Skubal (10-3, 2.09). The Phils close out the three-game series with a Sunday Night Baseball appearance. Tickets are available on the Phillies' website and third-party sites like StubHub and SeatGeek. If you speak fluent subtitles or smell popcorn in your dreams, this one's for you. The 14th annual BlackStar Film Festival, with a "one of a kind celebration of Black, Brown and Indigenous filmmaking," is back for another year this weekend. The festival will take place in person and virtually through Sunday at various theaters, including the Kimmel Center, the Wilma Theater and the Suzanne Roberts Theatre. Tickets for an in-person bundle are $80. The virtual bundle is $30. There is also an all-access pass for $350 and a virtual pass for $150. It's showtime at the Academy of Music this weekend.
