"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.
