GREAT CITIES DO NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT
CREATING PLACE AND PROSPERITY REQUIRES PATIENCE

Joe Rudemiller is vice president of Marketing & Communications at Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC).
He explained
that the tipping point for revitalizing center city Cincinnati was in 2001 when
protests and civil disorder erupted after a 19-year-old unarmed African
American man was shot and killed by a Cincinnati police officer attempting to
make an arrest for nonviolent misdemeanors.
The 3CDC
opened in 2004 and focused on redeveloping two core areas — Over-The-Rhine and
Fountain Square, the apex of the city’s downtown core.
It is a
nonprofit, but it operates like a full-service real estate firm.
The agency
also does programming of festivals and events.
