Downtown living: Hamilton’s urban areas gaining residential popularity with growing options
When Cy Wood moved from New York City to teach high-school students, “I moved to Hamilton, Ohio, basically sight unseen,” he said with a laugh. “I knew 100-percent, zero people when I moved here.”

“As soon as I moved here, I started meeting people,” he said. “And living downtown, I got to know so many people, and there’s such a great community.”
Much more than just “drug houses”; State grants to fund commercial building demolition would propel county land banks as key drivers of Ohio’s economic development
In late April 2021, a legislative committee in the Ohio House held its second hearing to consider creating a $100 million grant program, exclusively for county land banks, to fund commercial building demolition. Ohio’s land bank statutes are recognized as a national model, uniquely providing an opt-in for county commissioners to direct tax collections to fund their county land banks’ activities. That revenue model, coupled with allocations from the state’s Hardest Hit Fund (specifically, the sun-setting Neighborhood Initiative Program), allowed land banks to grow in number during the past decade and thrive in addressing so-called nonproductive land in their communities.
