The Greater Cincinnati Port Authority is working to finalize a strategic plan that will guide its work for the next two years.

Executive Director Laura Brunner presented the proposal Tuesday to City Council’s Strategic Growth Committee.

She said some may be surprised the plan is only for two years instead of a longer period.

Cincinnati leaders could be providing nearly $8.5 million to the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority to assist with an economic development project in Bond Hill.

The group has an agreement to buy the former Jordan Crossing complex at Reading and Seymour Roads and turn it into a mixed use development.

Laura Brunner with the Port said the process is starting with a study.

Redevelopment of this property may rejuvenate Bond Hill

Greater Cincinnati's development arm is zeroing in on a piece of Bond Hill history to rejuvenate the area.

Walking in what was Swifton Commons, now Jordan Crossing, you can see it's in need of a lot of attention. The concrete sidewalks are cracked. The shrubbery is overgrown. The paint on the benches is peeling off and only about a dozen stores remain open. But this property could breathe new life into Bond Hill.
