TIF funding approved for Glenway redevelopmenthttp://www.building-cincinnati.com/2009/05/tif-funding-approved-for-glenway.htmlA capital improvement program project account in the amount of $750,000 for the redevelopment of Glenway Avenue has been passed unanimously by Cincinnati City Council. Funding for the account comes from tax increment financing (TIF) funds from a district approved by council in March 2008. Cincinnati's Department of Community Development is currently working with Price Hill Will on a Glenway Avenue Market Study and Development Plan to identify underutilized properties between approximately Gurley Road and Shirley Place. Ken Smith, executive director of Price Hill Will, says that they're looking at mixed-use development for the area. "Hopefully, this will be a catalyst for additional development along the business corridor in West Price Hill," he says. Price Hill Will will be seeking input on the plan, and a public meeting likely will be scheduled within the next month, Smith says.

Sounds like a great redevelopment opportunity to me...Glenway Chevrolet to close in 2010http://cincinnati.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2009/08/10/daily27.htmlGlenway Chevrolet announced Wednesday that it is one of the dealerships targeted by General Motors for closure as part of the automakers post-bankruptcy restructuring. The 90-year-old Western Hills dealership will shut its doors in January 2010, according to a letter posted on its Web site from President Mark Ackerman. Click on link for article.

Wow, I would assume the Buick and Saturn dealerships next to this are on their way out too!?!?!
They will have empty surface parking lots out the ying yang in and around this part of Glenway. (Including Glenway Crossing)
On a brighter note, the old rail line that all of this was originally built on is now becoming available again!!

I am pleased to announce a new Jimmy Johns next to the new Chipotle on Glenway Ave in Bridgetown. This may cut down on my frequent trips to Uptown!

My wife and I hear the City BBQ advertising at Xavier Basketball games all the time and makes us chuckle. They do not have a single city location! I can't remember all their exurban locations, but one is in the sprawling Voice of American complex. It would be nice to have a suburban location. Sounds like they are working their way towards the city. Maybe in 2020 they will have a location in Clifton.

I found this odd! This building was built just a couple years ago at the intersection of Muddy Creek, Glenmore, and Glenway and has never had a tenant. I noticed it went into forclosure ala the giant forclosure sign that has adorned it for the past year. Drove by today, and it is completely gone! Now, somebody lost their azz on this deal!!!! http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&hq=&hnear=Cincinnati,+Hamilton,+Ohio&ll=39.136905,-84.614264&spn=0,359.997573&t=h&z=19&layer=c&cbll=39.136883,-84.614366&panoid=GV30NLjwnDTIg7rlt2X4wQ&cbp=12,5.5,,0,1.62

The rumor I heard is a UDF will now be going there. I can't believe that building never found a tenant.

That would be interesting. I was told years ago from an architect that Carl couldn't stand Cincy's building codes/restriction and pledged never to rebuild within the city limits. I'm not sure that was ever entirely true though.
Has UDF built in any other city neighborhoods throughout the 2000's?
Hopefully, they have kissed and made up by now!

That's interesting. There are several UDF locations in the area already. There is one at Glenmore and Montana, Glenway and Cleves-Warsaw, Queen City and Boudinot, and I think there is even a small one in the area by Waldenbooks, Kroger, etc, on Glenway.

^There is a small one in Bridgetown too. 4 locations within a 3 miles radius at best to any of those locations you listed along with Beavertown. It will be interesting to see SOMETHING HAPPEN soon! The city needs every bit of redevelopment they can get. Even if it is a gas station, it will generate revenue more than that empty building that has sat there for years.

The township itself is named after Revolutionary War hero Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene, so it's fitting the township continues to pay tribute to veterans in its bicentennial year.

Anyone bringing two non-perishable food items to the new Chick-fil-A between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Nov. 19 will receive a coupon good for a free Chick-fil-A sandwich. The effort to help stock the shelves of the Lower Price Hill Community Pantry reflects Chick-fil-A Operator/Owner Kenny Wilson's desire to quickly have a positive impact on the community surrounding the new restaurant.Um......OK.........

Yeah, they really are. Although Harrison disgusts me (I work there about once a week), the west side has a lot of excellent neighborhoods (with PLENTY of money), and a lot of fun places to hang out. Don't knock it until you try it. I'm from Delhi, and its really charming (especially by Rapid Run Middle School).
