MetroWest receives Clean Ohio funds

The Enquirer reports* that Cincinnati has received $3 million for remediation of the former Queen City Barrel property.

The Clean Ohio Revitalization Funds should become available in October, and demolition could begin later this year.

Fifteen projects received a total of $43 million.

The $25 million MetroWest project will consist of light industrial, flex and office space on 18 acres in Lower Price Hill.

Al Neyer Inc. and Resurgence Group LLC estimate that the project will create 400 jobs by the time it is built out in 7 to 10 years.
