*City applications
MetroWest Commerce Park
In 2007 the City of Cincinnati received a $3M Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund (CORF) grant for the MetroWest Commerce Park to assist with the environmental remediation and building demolition costs. The project was ranked number 1 by the Clean Ohio Council out of 17 projects submitted state-wide. The property is approximately 18 acres in size and is located in Lower Price Hill, southwest of the intersection of Gest and Evans Streets. It includes portions of the former Queen City Barrel property.
American Can
The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority was awarded a $750,000 Clean Ohio Assistance Fund (COAF) grant from the State of Ohio for the American Can property located at 4101 Spring Grove Ave. in Northside (now referred to as Factory Square). Remediation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) flooring contamination is underway. The City of Cincinnati has been working on this project with the developer since 2003. The developer plans to convert the 5-story structure to 93 market-rate apartments and 30,000 square feet of commercial space. The former Myron Johnson Lumber Company was recently added to the Factory Square project and will include greenspace, office, retail, and townhouses surrounding the American Can building.
Queensgate South
The US Environmental Protection Agency has partially approved the remedial action plan for clean-up of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at the Queensgate South development site (formally known as the Deutch and Mose Cohen scrap yards). The site is approximately 17 acres in size and is bordered to the west by Mehring Way, to the north by Freeman Avenue, to the east by Lynn Street, and to the South by Gest Street. Environmental remediation costs are being paid by the State of Ohio under a $3M Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund grant awarded to the City of Cincinnati. The developer plans to construct light industrial/office-flex space and create 500 new jobs.
Center Hill Commerce Park (Center Hill Landfill)
A Covenant Not To Sue from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) is expected by Spring 2008 for the Center Hill Commerce Park (otherwise known as the Center Hill Landfill), located on the corner of Center Hill Road and Este Avenue. The Remedial Action Plan and Operation & Maintenance Plan were approved by OEPA. The City plans to enter into a development agreement with Al. Neyer, Inc.
Richmond Commons (Former Wonder Bakery)
In January 2011 the City of Cincinnati applied for a $2.5 million Clean Ohio grant for the former Wonder Bakery site on Richmond Street in the West End. If received, most of the grant funding will be used for the removal of contaminated fill material, asbestos abatement, acquisition, and demolition. The City of Cincinnati will partner with the Homebuilders of Greater Cincinnati and Robley I, LLC to host a CitiRAMA homeshow at the site in 2012. Thirty eight new homes will be constructed.
Oakley North Redevelopment
A $3 million Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund grant application was submitted in January 2011 for the 66-acre Oakley North Redevelopment project, located off Madison Road and bounded by Forrer Street, Marburg Avenue, and Disney Street. This property has been used for industrial purposes since the early 1900s. If received, the grant funding will be used for the removal/disposal of contaminated soil and demolition. The planned end use is a mix of residential, commercial, and retail that will result in jobs, income tax revenues, and increased property tax revenues.
Blue Ash Airport
A portion of the Blue Ash Airport site sold to Blue Ash by the City of Cincinnati was formerly utilized as a shooting range. Residual soil contamination, resulting from the shooting range activity, requires remediation prior to implementation of Blue Ash’s planned Performing Arts and Conference Center redevelopment. In November 2010, the City was awarded a $1,087,500 CORF grant for required soil remediation activities.
Providence North (Samuel Adams Brewing Company)
In 2009 the City of Cincinnati was awarded a $282,228 Clean Ohio Assistance Fund (COAF) grant for additional Phase II environmental assessment work for the Providence North (Samuel Adams Brewing Company) project in the West End. In May 2010 the City was awarded a $3 million Clean Ohio grant for soil and groundwater remediation needed to ready this site for Sam Adams’ expansion. A smaller portion of the grant will be used for acquisition, asbestos abatement, and building demolition.
Kahn’s/Sara Lee
In May 2010 Hamilton County and the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority were awarded a $3 million Clean Ohio grant for the remediation and demolition at the former 17-acre Kahn’s/Sara Lee site located in Camp Washington. The City of Cincinnati is playing a critical role in moving this project forward through its commitment to fund $400,000 worth of demolition costs. Micro Metal Finishings, LLC will use 3 acres of the site and will stimulate development of the remaining 14 acres. The best use of the site is believed to be light industrial/manufacturing development.
NuTone/Medpace
On November 20, 2009 the Clean Ohio Council awarded the City of Cincinnati a $3 million Clean Ohio Revitalization (CORF) grant to cover costs for soil and groundwater remediation and demolition activities. The 29-acre property was formerly used by NuTone and is located at the corner of Madison and Red Bank Roads in Madisonville. Medpace will reuse the property and will initially occupy at least 132,000 square feet of new Class A office and research laboratory space within the development area. Founded in 1992, Medpace is a contract research organization that provides research and drug development support to pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Medpace has outgrown its current location in Norwood and will relocate approximately 535 existing locally-based employees to this site by 2013 and create another 800 jobs by the end of 2014.
Hudepohl Brewery
The old Hudepohl Brewery, located at 801 W. Sixth Street in Queensgate, has been used for manufacturing purposed (mostly as a brewery, but also as an ice cream factory during Prohibition) for approximately 150 years. The property has remained generally vacant since 1987. The City of Cincinnati was awarded a $100,400 Clean Ohio Assistance Fund (COAF) grant for the purpose of conducting a Phase II environmental assessment.
