Реновация парка Пайатт в Цинциннати приостановлена из-за отказа в налоговых льготах

Piatt Park renovation on hold after 3CDC misses state tax credits Developer says it will pursue future funding rounds to keep project alive CINCINNATI (WXIX) - A plan to renovate Piatt Park is on hold after developer 3CDC did not receive tax credits in the latest round of Ohio’s Transformational Mixed Use Development program, announced July 6. 3CDC says it came up short in the funding round but is not abandoning the project. The developer says it is determining next steps and plans to pursue future rounds of TMUD tax credits. Residents push back on redesign 3CDC has tied the push to revitalize the park — described as Cincinnati’s oldest — to what it calls persistent misuse, along with concerns about drug use and unwanted behavior. At least one downtown resident said she opposes the renovation plan. “I’m honestly pretty against it,” said Carly Schutte, a downtown resident. “I think the park as it exists now looks really nice. We love being able to come out here. It’s a major photo opportunity within the city for photographers. The community events that take place down here — feeding our unhoused population — is also really phenomenal.” Schutte and other advocates say they are worried a redesign could push out unhoused people who come to the park for meals and community. “They are fairly clean, they keep to themselves, there’s never an abundance of trash or anything like that that’s left behind,” Schutte said. “They come, they go, they use it like a park.” What happens to the lease Cincinnati Parks, the long-time owner of Piatt Park, leased the site to 3CDC so the developer could pursue competitive tax credits. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the city could terminate that lease if funding did not come through, or if funding was secured but work did not begin within a year. A Cincinnati Parks spokesperson said the current arrangement remains in place. “Cincinnati Parks maintains control of Piatt Park through the lease/lease back arrangement that allows 3CDC to pursue this grant opportunity,” the spokesperson said. “Any park redesign process, with lots of community engagement, would not begin until the project was to receive funding.” In a statement, 3CDC said: [Watch more from FOX19 NOW] See a spelling or grammatical error in our story?
