Welcome Letter

There are signs of new growth everywhere as trees, daffodils, and tulips are announcing spring’s arrival. And just a few weeks ago we found out that Cincinnati is growing, too.

This issue of Realm is focused on the stories in three counties (Butler, Warren, and Clermont) that are seeing tremendous growth of residents, jobs, and cultural vibrancy.

The eyes of the country and the world have been on Cincinnati so far this summer, and you can feel the momentum building.

The road ahead is a hopeful one full of potential and opportunity. And it’s a road that I am excited to travel with you.

Good news in the new year: The federal government has awarded $1.6 billion in grants for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project.

It’s time to light up our Future City as BLINK lights up buildings, spaces, and faces throughout downtown, Over-the-Rhine, and Covington.

This issue is a great look at the region’s successes and opportunities, from venture capital attraction to cutting-edge startups found only here.
