Media Response: |
"We're excited this decision upheld the original zoning certificate given to us by the City of Cincinnati. Just a few months ago, a U.S. Census Bureau report revealed that Cincinnati is now the 3rd poorest city in the U.S. and the poorest in Ohio, with 28% of people living below the poverty line. This is unacceptable, and we're excited to do our part to help change it."
-Tim Senff, CityLink Chairman & CEO "This is a big win for us because it gets us one step closer to our goal of serving people in poverty who are looking for a hand up, not a hand out." "We're excited to continue working with the West End, surrounding communities, and the City of Cincinnati to make this a 'win-win' for all involved. This is a victory not just for people in poverty, but also for our entire city." |

About CityLink: |
CityLink is a not-for-profit corporation organized by a combination of Cincinnati churches and ministries. Its intended purpose is to create a "centralized hub of services" to assist the low-income population in Cincinnati in becoming more fully contributing members of society. After conducting a search from the Norwood Lateral to the Ohio River, CityLink selected the property at 810 (a.k.a. 800) Bank Street in the West End neighborhood of Cincinnati. The property is a five-acre parcel with two vacant buildings, and it is zoned Manufacturing General ("MG"). The size of the property will allow it to be developed according to "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design", which includes secure entrances, improved lighting, fencing, and good visibility for law enforcement.
