The city of Cincinnati has a goal of building 40,000 homes in 10 years.
While the city has seen multiple old office buildings converted to apartments, no developer has completed a new apartment building or condominium development in the Central Business District since 2021.
And the Cincinnati Business Courier reports no new multi-family residential developments are ready to be built.
On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss what’s stalling development and the ideas officials are exploring to spur more construction.
Guests:
- Mark Jeffreys, Cincinnati City Council member
- Katie Westbrook, senior vice president of development, 3CDC
- Chris Wetterich, staff reporter and columnist, Cincinnati Business Courier
