OTR Brewery District Master Plan: “A Strategy for Repopulating Our Neighborhood”

Posted by OTR Matters on March 18, 2012 · 2 Comments 

With (hazy) memories of Bockfest fresh in our memory, now is a good time to take a serious look the OTR Brewery District‘s future. Thankfully, the Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corp. (BDCURC) has taken an important step toward that end by creating the 2011 Brewery District Master Plan. The plan was professionally prepared by glaserworks, a Cincinnati architectural and urban design firm.

You can read the BDCURC’s description of the process and the plan on its website or on this page.

The entire master plan has been uploaded to this site and divided by section:
