Midpointe Crossing Development funding in Bond Hill
The city will seek up to $2 million in state REDD grant money for site prep on the first phase of Midpointe Crossing — single-family homes and townhomes led by the Port — on top of $6.5 million already set aside for Bond Hill.
Buildings and Inspections Staffing and House Bill 361
An ordinance would create three new Elevator Inspector job classifications with salary ranges, expanding the City's capacity to inspect elevators — a public safety matter for residents in multi-story buildings.
Neighborhood Cleanliness and Litter Abatement
City departments presented the Litter Working Group's work on tackling litter across Cincinnati — a quality-of-life and cleanliness issue for neighborhoods.
City West Affordable Housing Preservation and Debt
The mayor's $1.5 million transfer for CMHA's City West housing rehab was held after a public commenter questioned giving money to an agency that owed the city money from the TQL stadium property sale.
Nehemiah Manufacturing Commercial Development and Tax Exemption in Lower Price Hill
The city would sell land at 800 Evans Street to Nehemiah Manufacturing for a $6.74 million facility — and give the company a 15-year, 100% tax exemption on the improvements. New manufacturing jobs versus foregone property tax revenue.
