The Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority partners with local communities to facilitate economic development within the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio. This important work enhances the use of the land resources throughout the area, resulting in the retention and generation of jobs and the generation of additional tax revenues.

Partnering with property owners, developers, end-users, and non-profits, we have launched a variety of development projects. These projects benefit from significant private sector investment.  As an Ohio port authority, we have access to a unique assortment of management and financing tools aimed at attracting significant private sector investment in large-scale development projects.

Brownfield redevelopment and bond financing are our two core functions.  We respond to requests for public support of local private and non-profit development projects by assembling the right team, defining clear project goals, building consensus among team members, and blending project management with political leadership.

In our role as a public-sector partner in these collaborations, we have been able to deliver vehicles for financing structures, obtain grants, serve as property owner, assist in regulatory approvals, and provide technical assistance.
