The projects awarded within the City of Cincinnati are:

• Crosley Building Remediation - Awarded $2,443,861.53 for cleanup/remediation
  Built in 1929 by Samuel Hannaford and Sons, the Crosley Building served as the home to the Crosley Radio Corporation until 1946. The site was used primarily for industrial purposes until it was abandoned in 2006 and was later condemned in 2012. The nine-story building is in poor condition and has asbestos and lead paint present throughout. After remediation of both, the building will be redeveloped as The Crosley, a 200-unit affordable housing project, including commercial and studio space and a rooftop garden and lounge space.
• 3401 Colerain - Awarded $1,396,152 for cleanup/remediation
  This property is immediately adjacent to the former Crosley Building and manufacturing facility. The building was constructed in 1914 with additions in 1940. During that time, the property served as a support facility, including locker rooms and break rooms for the Crosley Radio Corporation. Most recently, the site served as manufacturing and office space for Reliable Castings. Remediation activities include asbestos abatement and capping of soil on the site. After remediation, the existing building will be demolished, and the site will be redeveloped as part of the Crosley Building development.
• Model Laundry Facility - Awarded $1 million for cleanup/remediation
  Activity on this property dates to the late 1800s when the site was used as a planning and sawing mill. Later, the site was utilized as a plaster relief workshop, commercial dry cleaning, and automotive repair shop. Remediation activities include bioremediation and chemical oxidation on the site as well as disposal of impacted soil. The property is in Madisonville, a growing neighborhood that faces a housing supply shortage. After remediation, the site will be an attractive property for a mixed-use development.
• Lunkenheimer Foundry Remediation - Awarded $1,721,250 for cleanup/remediation
  Constructed in 1908 for the Lunkenheimer Foundry, this 150,000-square-foot building was once home to manufacturing of bronze, iron, and cast steel valves. The deteriorating building has been vacant since 2017, and four underground storage tanks and substantial amounts of lead paint, asbestos, and sub-soil contamination are present on the site. After remediation of contaminated substances, the development authority plans to prepare the site for redevelopment.
• Shillito’s West Remediation - Awarded $900,000 for cleanup/remediation
  Formerly a department store, this long-vacant property is at a key corner in the downtown central business district in Cincinnati and part of the national register historic district. A 2019 Asbestos survey identified extensive quantities of asbestos throughout, including in the drywall joint compound, floor mastic, floor tiles, pipe insulation, duct seam tape, window glazing, etc. Cleanup includes abatement of all necessary materials. Once completed, the property will be able to be rehabilitated or demolished for redevelopment of the site.
• Lower Mill Creek Area Wide Urban Setting Designation - Awarded: $135,000 for assessment
  This property is located along the Mill Creek Corridor in Hamilton County and part of a history of industry in Greater Cincinnati. Because of industrial use and the property’s location along the creek, it must undergo a groundwater assessment prior to redevelopment. After assessment and any needed remediation, the Port plans to redevelop the property as part of a larger industrial redevelopment strategy.
