Public-private partnerships are the foundation of the Port Authority’s project work. We meet project goals by building collaborative relationships with a variety of regional public and private sector partners and stakeholders. Trust is a core value as we provide coordinated, capable leadership.

In our role as the 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. We believe that the right public-private partnership can leverage the resources of each to achieve a shared vision.

Lasting Impacts

This approach is resulting in the assessment, remediation, and redevelopment of 155 acre of brownfield property and the issuance of approximately $440 million in economic development revenue bonds.  In total, the Port Authority helped to create more than $2.12 billion in total economic impact, of which $712.7 million will directly enter local households as wages and salaries representing 21,694 jobs. Additionally, our projects result in $18.5 million annually in local tax revenues. We are committed to continue making these kinds of lasting and meaningful environmental, economic, and community impacts in the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.
