Over time, with the eXpansion of railroads and shifting trade routes, the river became less relevant to the success of the city. In this dissertation study, I pick up the history of Cincinnati’s relationship with the Ohio River after it had apparently declined in importance. Through a focus on how Cincinnati elites have advocated for different infrastructural projects along the Ohio River, I track the ways that they have hoped to again make the river productive for the city. In particular, I focus on the creation of infrastructure concerning 1) navigation, 2) flooding, and 3) pollution. By developing infrastructure related to these three areas, local elites hoped to reshape how the Ohio River behaved, making it more amenable to Cincinnati’s overall needs, as well as to spur development in the region. In doing so, I connect these proposals designed to transform the entire Ohio River with plans to redevelop specific stretches of the riverfront around Cincinnati. To explore these two interests simultaneously, I examine the activities of Cincinnati-based groups that have sought to unite the skills of technical eXperts with those of local developers in order to promote infrastructural solutions to the issues of navigation, flooding, and pollution – groups like the Ohio Valley Improvement Association, the Cincinnati Stream Pollution Committee, the Cincinnatus Association, the Riverfront Advisory Council, and others. In doing so, this study uncovers the entanglement of technocratic expertise and development knowledge in shaping how local elites have maintained their authority in the city and reshaped the urban environment to suit their needs. Through a century of collaboration on infrastructural projects, technical experts and iv development elites in Cincinnati have been able to transform the riverfront – which had once been a zone of mobility, racial intermiXing, and economic opportunity for the city’s poorer residents – into a tightly- controlled area that is increasingly inaccessible to Cincinnati’s low-income residents or small businesses. At the same time, this historical and ethnographic study also places particular emphasis on understanding the role the Ohio River itself has had in enabling these processes to unfold. Far from being an inert bystander, the Ohio River has actively shaped these infrastructural projects along the Cincinnati riverfront, many times being a major contributor to the successful realization of elite objectives around white supremacy, imperialism, urban growth, and public health, among others. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Hot damn! First, thanks to the Acknowledgements section for letting me write some neat, twisty prose for once. Christ writing a dissertation is hard. Then trying to make everything sound elegant and effortless turns it into skating on lava. To those people who made it a little easier on the way: To my ugly, eternally-jealous siblings, my way-too-kind parents – you always make my time in Cincinnati comfort-filled and amusing. Forever plotting ways to come back. For my Mom and Aunt Monica, thank you for editing and providing style guidance on the first two chapters. To everybody at the Cincinnati Interfaith Workers Center – thanks for creating a community for me in returning home. On many levels, it was eXtremely helpful to fight with you all to change our city while also working on this project. To the Fall 2017 Writing Group – due to trick of fate, we spent a lot of time reading my chapters, and it helped me so enormously, taught me to focus on writing what I assumed everyone already knew. Many thanks to Julie Skurski for organizing the group and for her thoughtful feedback. To my dissertation committee – you have all heard and read way more about Cincinnati than you probably ever anticipated. Jeff, thank you for taking me on as an advisee early in my doctoral studies, and then providing useful advice (sometimes ignored) as I fitfully groped for a project, got distracted, and moved through the process in my own way. You taught me what urban anthropology could accomplish and I hope this work reflects the excitement I feel about the field. Jackie, you were the professor for literally the very first college course I ever walked into. You helped me slowly embrace anthropology as a way that I could critically explore my own passion for the city I call home. Dana, you have been fundamental to shaping what I hope to accomplish through scholarship and for teaching me to root theories of power in the particular U.S. histories of race, gender, and class that surround them. Uwe, thank you for taking a random Skype call. Since then I have greatly appreciated your generosity in sharing your deep knowledge of the region to improve my project. Neil Smith, Don Robotham, Kate Crehan, Michael Blim, and all of the CUNY Department of Anthropology faculty jumped me into so many of these ideas. To all my friends – I am looking forward to rediscovering why we are friends soon. Megan, Nazia, Yesenia, and Ryan, you all oh-so-necessarily kept me fun-distracted at Graduate Center. vi To everyone at the University of Cincinnati Archives & Rare Books, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County Inland Rivers Library, and Cincinnati History Library and Archives – you all went above and beyond as I came in to scan stuff during my lunch break, asked to review materials during renovations, or made other weird requests. The Cincinnati History Library and Archives even shut down indefinitely a few months into research, but we got it done. To all the people who wrote and did this stuff that I somewhat surreally lego-landed into a dissertation – compiling and writing about you all has been a very strange process. While I disagreed with the actions of some of the individuals or groups described here, I hope I accurately captured the original intentions and beliefs of everyone captured in these pages. To all the people I’m forgetting who helped me along the way or even just nodded supportively as I described my project – thank you for listening and being there. And to Geo, you have been insanely supportive. Putting in shifts at the archive one hot summer, helping me talk through ideas. I’ve read so many “Thanks for putting up with me” platitudes in acknowledgement sections, but it is very very very real life. Thank you all. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction …1 A.

  • Making Cincinnati the National Epicenter for Minority Business
    2019-2020 Making Cincinnati the National Epicenter for Minority Business Development 2 – 2019-2020 Accelerator Annual Report Letter from the Chair Over the past couple of years, we have outlined a bold vision and strategic plan to grow the aggregate annual revenues of minority businesses in the region by $1 billion and subsequently create an incremental 3,500 jobs by year-end 2022. This bold vision and plan have galvanized regional and national stakeholders desiring to partner with us to not only accomplish something transformational for Greater Cincinnati, but something that might truly inform and transform this work across the nation. Our four key pillars to achieve these bold goals, which are to grow our existing portfolio firms, build a robust pipeline, attract larger-scale minority firms to the region, and create new minority firms via acquisition of mainstream businesses, have each enjoyed major developments over the past year, and have collectively served to further elevate and position the Minority Business Accelerator as a national best practice. Importantly, our bold plan and vision follow over a decade of exceptional work in the region to build larger-scale minority-owned businesses, which was perhaps best captured in a LendingTree.com report released early in 2019 that recognized Cincinnati among the top 10 metropolitan areas in the country where minority entrepreneurs are finding success. Moreover, certain categories of that very same report, namely the percentage of minority-owned businesses in operation for more than the six years, as well as the percentage of minority businesses with annual revenues greater than $500K, rank Cincinnati as number one in the nation.

MLB.com: Your agent, Burton Rocks, told me you are having the time of your life. How much fun are you having? Jim Riggleman: I have to preface it by saying working with and for [former Reds manager] Bryan Price was great. I love Bryan. It was kind of like when I was with Manny [Acta in Washington]. They managed well. It's just that they couldn't win ballgames. After a while, that just catches up to you. The other side of that is, now that I've become the manager, I do, absolutely, love it. I'm enjoying it to the nth degree. It's what I love to do. MLB.com: Once you took over, what made the team click? Riggleman: I think a couple of things: After about a week into the season, Eugenio Suarez got hit by a pitch and broke a finger. He was out for about three weeks. And then right around the same time, Scott Schebler, our right fielder, had a shoulder issue, and we put him on the DL for a couple of weeks.

  • ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds
    ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds Located on the winding banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, the Great American Ball Park is home to the Cincinnati Reds, baseball's first professional franchise. The ballpark, built next door to the Reds’ former home, Riverfront Stadium, officially opened for the 2003 season. Equally as enthusiastic as their hometown fans, the ballpark’s management team continues to improve the ballpark’s energy performance and is a leader among stadiums nationwide. Energy Management with ENERGY STAR The Cincinnati Reds were one of the first Major League Baseball teams to join ENERGY STAR as a partner in 2008 and use ENERGY STAR resources to track energy usage, improve energy performance, and communicate their efforts to staff and the public. Improving energy performance is an important environmental strategy for the Reds and they have received kudos from local officials and enhanced loyalty from fans for leading by example. The ballpark operations management team benchmarks the ballpark’s energy performance using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Portfolio Manager, an online energy tool to track whole-building energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions. By inputting historical energy data going back to 2007, and ongoing monthly energy consumption and cost information, the Reds are able to measure progress and quantify improvements. To date, the ballpark’s energy intensity is 27 percent better than the national average for entertainment buildings1, even with an off-season construction project during the winter of 2009. As part of their energy management plan, the ballpark’s building operations management team implemented several energy conservation measures and integrated energy efficient technologies into the ballpark’s infrastructure.

  • A Whole New Ball Game: Sports Stadiums and Urban Renewal in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St
    A Whole New Ball Game: Sports Stadiums and Urban Renewal in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis, 1950-1970 AARON COWAN n the latter years of the 1960s, a strange phenomenon occurred in the cities of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. Massive white round Iobjects, dozens of acres in size, began appearing in these cities' down- towns, generating a flurry of excitement and anticipation among their residents. According to one expert, these unfamiliar structures resembled transport ships for "a Martian army [that] decided to invade Earth."1 The gigantic objects were not, of course, flying saucers but sports stadiums. They were the work not of alien invaders, but of the cities' own leaders, who hoped these unusual and futuristic-looking structures would be the key to bringing their struggling cities back to life. At the end of the Second World War, government and business leaders in the cities of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and St. Louis recognized that their cities, once proud icons of America's industrial and commercial might, were dying. Shrouded in a haze of sulphureous smoke, their riparian transportation advantages long obsolete, each city was losing population by the thou- sands while crime rates skyrocketed. Extensive flooding, ever the curse of river cities, had wreaked havoc on all three cities' property values during 1936 and 1937, compounding economic difficulties ushered in with the Riverfront Stadium in Great Depression. While the industrial mobilization of World War II had Cincinnati. Cincinnati brought some relief, these cities' leaders felt less than sanguine about the Museum Center, Cincinnati Historical Society Library postwar future.2 In 1944, the Wall Street Journal rated Pittsburgh a "Class D" city with a bleak future and little promise for economic growth.
