$300K approved for Fifth and Race

Cincinnati City Council has approved unanimously $300,000 in pre-development funding for the Fifth and Race site Downtown.

The funding agreement allows development manager 3CDC defray costs for architectural, environmental, and engineering work; financial analysis; market research; construction cost estimating; and surveying.

3CDC was selected to manage development of the site in late October and given one year - with two one-year renewal periods - to select a developer.

Upon approval of a developer by council, 3CDC will manage the construction.
