The Port is a public, mission-driven development finance agency focused on revitalizing Hamilton County, OH, neighborhoods and legacy urban industrial sites. A port authority under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4582, our diverse suite of programs and initiatives are structured to make significant impact to improve our region in ways that reduce poverty, improve land value and create well-paying jobs. The foundation of our work is putting real estate back to work for everyone in Hamilton County. The Port collaborates with dozens of economic development, community and corporate partners, and is governed by a board of directors appointed in equal number by the City of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. LinkedIn Rules for Engagement: Linkedin provides a platform for sharing news and information, which is relevant to our organizational strategy and supports our mission to revitalize industry and neighborhoods. This forum also serves as an open dialogue for our partners, networks, and importantly, the communities we serve. As a professional business forum, where business leaders come for information and news, we are committed to bringing informative and engaging content, aimed to raise awareness and help advance our mission to serve the communities in Greater Cincinnati. All dialogues and comments need to be relevant to news shared, or provide additional perspective for ongoing conversations. In keeping a positive experience for our networks and recognizing how valuable everyone's time is, we reserve the right to take down photos, comments and other material deemed "unproductive"​ by our organization. If someone persists in offensive or unproductive behavior or continually violates our policy of engagement, we may block that person from further participation. Please remember to respect your fellow colleagues and networks.
