CINCINNATI \u2014 The Banks could soon be getting a new attraction\u2014 a mini golf course. <\/p>\n
According to Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval’s office Thursday, the city entered a proposed partnership with Jeffrey R. Anderson Real Estate to bring a mini golf course to one of the city’s most popular entertainment districts at The Banks. <\/p>\n
“This can be an exciting way to bring even more life and activation to the Banks as we keep building our long-term vision,” Pureval said. “And as we move forward with next steps of engagement, it can serve a real benefit to the organizations and residents who call The Banks home.”<\/p>\n
The agreement is part of a three-year lease, according to the mayor’s office, of the Lot 18 site at 55 E Freedom Way. The mini golf course would be a temporary installation while long-term planning with The Banks Master Plan continues. <\/p>\n
Lot 18, currently a patch of grass holding the “Sing the Queen City” sign, sits in front of the Roebling Bridge. <\/p>\n
The proposed partnership includes a “commitment to cooperate in generating financial benefits to the (National Underground Railroad) Freedom Center during the course of operations,” among other possible collaborations, the mayor’s office said. <\/p>\n
Woodrow Keown Jr., president and chief operating officer of the Freedom Center, said the project represents the value of public-private partnerships for the benefit of the entire community. <\/p>\n
The proposal will go before the Planning Commission on July 17. To move forward, it would need approval from Cincinnati City Council. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CINCINNATI \u2014 The Banks could soon be getting a new attraction\u2014 a mini golf course.
