Cincinnati’s eco-industrial plan for the future

Soapbox Cincinnati features an article this week about the Queensgate area and how it’s planning and working to green the traditional industrial ways. The creation of an eco-industrial manufacturing park in the Queensgate/southern Mill Creek area is one of the suggestions made by the Brookings Institution on ways to take advantage of growth opportunities in Cincinnati.

Zero emissions created, LEED certified buildings, and the restoration of the Mill Creek are all contributors to the overall plan. Sounds like an incredible plan and a great place to work. We hope that the city and the mayor will back this recommendation and make it a priority.

Read more about the GO Cincinnati recommendations on the city’s website.
