One year ago:
- Cincinnati City Council approved a $1.2 million forgivable loan of federal HOME funds to Race, Republic and Green LLC (Cornerstone Corporation for Shared Equity) for Friar's Court, the 25-unit second phase of the St. Anthony Village project in Over-the-Rhine.
- Cincinnati's City Planning Commission was considering a proposal by Ronald McDonald House to build a three-story, 32,000-square-foot addition to its existing Avondale building.
- Almost all of the properties in the block bounded by W Martin Luther King Jr Drive, Ahrens Street, Rochelle Avenue and Vine Street had been cleared to make way for the Corryville Crossings project.
- Permits were in route to convert the Western Hills Wal-Mart into a supercenter.
- In Avondale, a small, neglected lender-owned house was razed.
