The Port is incredibly proud of the impact we have been able to make, and the trust placed in us to make investments on behalf of the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County to improve properties and drive growth. As we do the work of repurposing vacant properties, restoring industrial sites to productive use, and financing a variety of complex capital projects, we always consider, 'Who is benefiting from this work – now and in the long-term? How can we do more within our scope to expand access to local opportunity through real estate?'

We will continue to leverage our unique tools and skills toward the region’s most pressing needs around expanding opportunity. Because after decades of population loss, and targeted areas of disinvestment, Cincinnati is again a place to invest. But prosperity is not evenly distributed across the population, and as noted in the 2015 State of Black Cincinnati report, we are still a tale of two cities, with white prosperity far outpacing black prosperity
