FEATURED PROJECT

Micro-tenants make mighty impact in Walnut Hills Business District

Small businesses and arts enterprises are the lifeblood of high-opportunity neighborhoods.  But, these small-scale commercial projects in under-resourced urban centers are traditionally seen as too high a risk for investment. The Port made two loans in 2017 from its DREAM loan fund to help five entrepreneurs open for business in Walnut Hills.
