The Port purchased nearly 200 homes from an out-of-town investor last month with one goal - creating affordable homeownership opportunities. The Wall Street Journal shares the story of how institutional investors are buying up larger shares of the residential real estate market for high-priced rentals, and how The Port is taking ownership for residents. #affordablehousing #ThePortImpact https://on.wsj.com/3rnNehw
About us
The Port is a public, mission-driven development finance agency focused on revitalizing Hamilton County, OH, neighborhoods and legacy urban industrial sites. A port authority under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4582, our diverse suite of programs and initiatives are structured to make significant impact to improve our region in ways that reduce poverty, improve land value and create well-paying jobs. The foundation of our work is putting real estate back to work for everyone in Hamilton County. The Port collaborates with dozens of economic development, community and corporate partners, and is governed by a board of directors appointed in equal number by the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. LinkedIn Rules for Engagement: Linkedin provides a platform for sharing news and information, which is relevant to our organizational strategy and supports our mission to revitalize industry and neighborhoods. This forum also serves as an open dialogue for our partners, networks, and importantly, the communities we serve. As a professional business forum, where business leaders come for information and news, we are committed to bringing informative and engaging content, aimed to raise awareness and help advance our mission to serve the communities in Greater Cincinnati. All dialogues and comments need to be relevant to news shared, or provide additional perspective for ongoing conversations. In keeping a positive experience for our networks and recognizing how valuable everyone's time is, we reserve the right to take down photos, comments and other material deemed "unproductive" by our organization. If someone persists in offensive or unproductive behavior or continually violates our policy of engagement, we may block that person from further participation. Please remember to respect your fellow colleagues and networks.

The past few years, we have seen a seismic shift in how we use downtown buildings across the country. The result? Millions of square feet of vacant office space in downtown cores. In our latest blog post, we take a closer look at how Cincinnati and cities across the country are turning this challenge into an opportunity. See how office to residential conversions are shaping Downtown's future and how The Port has helped support many of these projects. Read more here: https://loom.ly/CPxXJaA

A barrel of laughs? A barrel of fun? Unfortunately, that’s not what was being stored in the barrels left behind at this property at 2452 Beekman. Instead, a previous occupant left behind drums of hazardous materials like acids, used oils, caustics, and detergents. Fortunately, with the support of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Ohio EPA, our team quickly and safely removed these materials. This project is a great example of The Port’s commitment to greener and cleaner communities, and highlights the partnerships involved in securing, assessing, and eliminating potentially unsafe and hazardous conditions from former vacant industrial buildings in our community.
