Council approves Atrium One redevelopment, honors community groups and passes routine business
Summary
Cincinnati City Council approved a development agreement to convert a downtown building into roughly 200 residential units, passed ceremonial resolutions recognizing the Lincoln Wear Walking Club and Frank Wood III, and approved several first-reading emergency ordinances including a modest clerk-of-council payment and a fleet-account action.
Cincinnati City Council voted unanimously to authorize a development agreement with Atrium Tower 1 LP to convert the existing building at 201 E. Fourth Street into approximately 200 residential rental units, a project council members described as part of a wave of downtown office-to-residential conversions.
Council Member Krammerding called the project a significant downtown investment and cited a large private investment in the conversion. "These conversions are helping with our housing crisis," he said, noting that conversions downtown are adding hundreds of units and changing the downtown housing landscape.
Earlier in the meeting council presented a resolution recognizing the Lincoln Wear Walking Club for 25 years of community health work and a posthumous resolution honoring Frank Wood III for his role in creating the Riverfest fireworks and his contributions to Cincinnati broadcasting; both resolutions were adopted by voice/roll call and met with council praise.
The council also approved several routine business items by roll call, including an emergency ordinance to pay $438.60 to Cincinnati Copiers Inc. from the Clerk of Council account and a capital-account action related to obsolete fleet with reported sale proceeds around $49,000.
With business concluded the council heard announcements from the city manager about employee giving campaign results and adjourned.
