Milestones Mark Steady Progress Toward Revitalization in the Beekman Corridor

In the heart of Cincinnati’s West Side, a corridor once shaped by heavy industry is steadily climbing out of decline and moving toward environmental recovery and reinvestment. The Port’s work in the Beekman Corridor is a mission-driven effort to correct the legacy of environmental harm and return long-abandoned sites to productive use. For years, The Port has worked to address long-standing challenges of contamination and vacancy in the Corridor in a deliberate, phased way. Now, it is reaching critical milestones that reflect meaningful momentum to bring growth and stability back to these communities.

Ribbon Cutting for YWCA’s Francie Garber Pepper House of Healing

In May, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of YWCA Greater Cincinnati’s newest domestic violence shelter in Avondale. This project is rooted in thoughtful, informed design that offers privacy, safety, and healing for survivors and their families. The shelter was made possible through a combination of vision, collaboration, and creative financing, including $5 million in Federal New Markets Tax Credits allocated by Uptown Consortium Inc., a managed entity of The Port. These credits help attract private investment into communities, closing funding gaps for projects that might not otherwise move forward. With 25 apartment-style units, on-site services, and spaces for both connection and quiet, this sanctuary is more than just a building. It is a foundation for renewal, resilience, and long-term recovery. We’re proud to help make it possible.

The Port Wraps up Another Year of Mentorship at Oyler School

The 2024-2025 school year may be over, but the impact of our Adopt-A-Class
partnership with Oyler lives on! The Port again provided an immersive mentorship experience for a third-grade class, showcasing the many ways we’re actively driving real estate development in our region. We’re proud of the students’ achievements, as they learned about everything from complex public financing deals to the exciting process of building homes, gaining valuable insights into the day-to-day operations of our various business lines. We can’t wait to welcome our next cohort of students this fall.
