Here’s the roundup…
Kevin covered the TIFs and Streetscape story that affects Price Hill among other Cincinnati neighborhoods. Basically there will delays in the various projects since the districts must be amended.
This Sunday, September 16th, Price Hill Will and the Price Hill Historical Society are hosting a reception to celebrate artwork created by several local students. The event is from 1pm to 2pm at the 3640 Warsaw Ave.
Great news came yesterday regarding the proposed barge terminal development in Lower Price Hill. City Council’s economic development committee passed a motion barring negotiations with any industry for use of the property and stated that a 90 day period be observed to consider other options. It’s about time.
I’ve been checking out a “new” web-2.0-social-bookmarking-news-aggregating site outside.in. It’s no reason to jump up and down, but it’s interesting to see articles gathered together and many local blogs on a map (I’m still a bit confused how all of the got there). It would probably be cooler if Cincinnati was one of the bloggiest cities in America, but I’ll say we’re shooting for quality not quantity.
Sphere: Related ContentThe Enquirer has a short article regarding a meeting in Columbus to discuss Ohio’s foreclosure problem. Representative Steve Driehaus of Price Hill was there with some local concerns.
Some of the proposals seem pointless, i.e. “counseling.” Anyone who thinks “counseling” will help create more responsible home owners or reduce foreclosures is off the mark. I like the idea of giving the community more control of blighted properties.
Sphere: Related ContentKevin LeMaster has a great piece of info regarding the proposed barge terminal vs green space in the Queensgate/Lower Price Hill area just south of the 6th St. Viaduct.
This issue is of great importance to the Price Hill Community. It’s been discussed significantly at EPHIA (East Price Hill Improvement Association) meetings and all votes oppose a barge terminal. Check out the June meeting, point #4. Any industrial use of this space would be an eyesore for people with view property from Mt. Hope and Grand Ave. Not to mention increased noise, traffic and trucks. Considering this and the planned developments by the City Lights Development Company near Queen’s Tower, it is vital that we keep the space between the hillside and downtown free from industrial use.
We are glad to have City Council on our side.
