Our History
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.
