  • GROW OUTSIDEOUTSIDE a GUIDE to OUTDOOR PLAY Turn Over a New Leaf!
    GROWGROW OUTSIDEOUTSIDE A GUIDE TO OUTDOOR PLAY Turn over a new leaf! www.LNCIgc.org Dear Reader: Do you remember when parents told their children to “Go Outside and Play”? A time when unstructured play in nature built healthy bodies, encouraged creativity and a sense of wonder, relieved stress, facilitated learning and developed important social skills? In the relatively short span of thirty to forty years, we have removed our children from the natural environment that so effectively nurtured healthy child development. When Richard Louv published his book “Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder” in 2005, he issued a call to action for the parents and mentors of today to return children to the healthy, outdoor lifestyle that has prevailed throughout human evolution. We hope this guide will inspire you to encourage today’s children to “GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY”!! ! Leave No Child Inside – Greater Cincinnati sage ... es from uv M Richard Lo A Author, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder Today, kids are well aware of the global threats to their environment, but their physical contact, their intimacy with nature on a day-to-day basis, is fading. A fifth-grader in a San Diego classroom put it succinctly: “I like to play indoors better ‘cause that’s where all the electrical outlets are.” I believe our society is teaching young people to avoid direct experience in nature. That unintended message is delivered by schools, families, even organizations devoted to the outdoors, and codified into the legal and regulatory structures of many of our communities – effectively banning much of the kind of play that we enjoyed as children.

  • 2001-2002 Port Biennial Report
    Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority In the latter part of 2000, the City of Cincinnati, Ohio and Hamilton County, Ohio collaborated to create the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority. This new entity would reconstitute an existing port authority that the two governments had formed earlier to spearhead the redevelopment of brownfield sites. Our newly created Port Authority was given a dual mission of overseeing The Banks Central Riverfront Project envisioned by the City, the County, and the Riverfront Advisors Commission, as well as continuing the brownfield redevelopment activities of our predecessor agency. Thus, we began our mission with a vision for a strong, vibrant Greater Cincinnati Region and rich opportunities to plan and build on economic development successes for future generations. Our Mission The mission of the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority is two-fold: •It is charged with the implementation of the Central Riverfront Urban Design Master Plan for the mixed-use redevelopment of Cincinnati’s Central Riverfront Area, commonly referred to as “The Banks.” •It is also charged with facilitating the redevelopment of properties in Hamilton County that are environmentally contaminated or perceived to be contaminated and are now vacant, abandoned, idle or underutilized due to the real or perceived contamination. On cover, top left: John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge; bottom left: River Road Maritime Facility PORT OF GREATER CINCINNATI DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 1 ANNUAL REPORT 2001-2002 To the Greater Cincinnati Community, The past year has been a very active one for the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority. For while we are only two years old, we have matured and grown, demonstrating the important role that a port authority can play in encouraging and implementing economic development in our region.
