Ruoxi Yang reports on the progress on Price Landing, "an integral piece of the overall western riverfront vision" for Cincinnati. Supporters of Price Landing plan hope that their proposal will permanently prevent the development of industrial uses.
"River West Working Group and Price Hill Will announced last month that they have received two grants to create a park framework plan for Price Landing," reports Ruoxi Yang.
"Cincinnati’s western riverfront spans 22 miles from downtown to Shawnee Lookout, and Price Landing is seen as a critical step in reclaiming the riverfront ecosystem as a recreational and educational experience, rather than industrial."
A $30,000 grant from Interact for Health and a $16,000 grant from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation comprised the good funding news for supporters of Price Landing.
