Finalists chosen in pitch competition for funders’ grants

Erlanger
Located in northwestern Kenton County, the largely suburban city of Erlanger sprang up around the Southern Railroad in the late 19th Century and experienced speedy growth with the expansion of I-75 in the 1960s. Erlanger’s convenient proximity to downtown, CVG, the I-75 corridor and points south has made it an ideal location for engineering and manufacturing operations that benefit from Erlanger’s favorable business environment. Business owners, residents and visitors alike attest to Erlanger’s amiable pace — its nickname is “Friendship City,” after all — citing numerous green spaces, an active historical society, regular farmers markets and family-friendly fun like the Cherry Hill Swim Club, which hosts summer movie nights and other activities.
