Industrial Revitalization
Bringing underutilized industrial properties back to their highest and best use, and creating development-ready sites for job creation
When companies search for a new facility location, we want them to be able to find a site in Hamilton County. Within the broader economic development network working to make our region a top competitive business location, The Port’s specialty is assembling land and leading remediation and demolition efforts to produce job-ready sites. Under our industrial strategy, The Port acquires former manufacturing facilities that are vacant or underutilized – and prepares sites to meet the needs of today’s end-users. In 2018 and 2019, The Port continued to deliver on this mission and increased Hamilton County’s inventory of sites suitable for manufacturing investment.
