  • 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.

Its sumptuous 1930s Arcade and Palm Court, and the newly renovated Fountain Square across the street, occupy the position of the huge, elliptical earthwork that once domi- nated this high Ohio River terrace, as recorded on Dr. Daniel Drake’s 1815 map. Indeed, Fountain Square is the symbolic heart of Cincinnati. This city grew and pros- pered in the early 1800s, on its large level ter- race, above the confluence of three rivers.
