INDUSTRIAL REVITALIZATION

25-Acre Industrial Site in Reading to be Repurposed

With the goal of bringing high-paying jobs to the City of Reading, The Port acquired a 25-acre former chemical plant in late 2019. Vacant since 2014, the site once employed 230 people with a payroll of over $4 million. The Port's development scope involves abatement, remediation, demolition, and site grading to prepare the site for new development.

“This transformative project is exactly what commissioners envisioned when they set budget priorities around economic development.”

County Administrator, Hamilton County, Ohio
