Senator Voinovich tours Cincinnati Riverfront Park construction site, pledges additional support

Senator George V. Voinovich (R-OH), visited the Cincinnati Riverfront Park (CRP) construction site to observe the progress being made on phase one of the 45-acre park.  Once complete, the riverfront park is expected to attract millions of visitors to downtown Cincinnati and serve as a welcome mat to the region. During Senator Voinovich's visit Park Board officials discussed the need for an additional $6.5 million of Federal support, and requested Federal authorization for the project be increased from $30 million to $80 million that would be split up between $40 million in Federal and $40 million in non-Federal dollars. “We were most gratified at the senator’s enthusiastic response to our Phase I park construction, which is on budget and on-time for a Spring, 2011 opening,” said Cincinnati Parks Director Willie F. Carden Jr.  “The senator also reiterated his support for our current efforts to receive an additional $6.5 million in Federal dollars along with the expansion of the Federal authorization." In 2007 Voinovich was able to help secure the existing $30 million authorization as part of the Water Resources Development Act (WDRA) bill while serving as a member of the Environment & Public Works Committee.  The project received additional support from the senator last year with a $5.2 million in construction appropriations. “From my days as mayor I have always been a champion of public-private partnerships just like this,” said Senator Voinovich. “I applaud the way that the private sector is working towards their goal of $40 million dollars, after already stepping up to the plate with $7 million to fund this park. I look forward to seeing the finished project and enjoying all that the historic Cincinnati riverfront has to offer.” In addition to the Federal appropriations, the CRP has been able to secure City and State funds along with "substantial private donations" that will help build unique features at the park and endow the park according to Park Board officials. “The importance of this project to the City and to the region cannot be overstated, and the roles of all of our elected officials—Senator Voinovich, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Congresswoman Jean Schmidt (R-OH) Schmidt and Congressman Steve Driehaus (D-OH) can never be minimized,” exclaimed Carden.  “As a destination park, Cincinnati Riverfront Park will drive people into the city, from throughout the world including citizens, business people, tourists, new residents and others."

Ohio Indie Film ‘Life After’ to Generate Jobs, Grow Film Industry

Thanks to the new Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit, "Life After" will begin shooting in the Cincinnati area later this year. Cincinnati native Jim Amatulli, at the production's helm, looks forward to bringing more of the film industry to our region.In "Life After," a family man takes a job as a caretaker at a cemetery that supposedly houses a secret treasure. Human and supernatural opposition drive the plot. Like his protagonist, Amatulli sees himself as a "plate spinner" who's energized by wearing three hats in "Life After" - writer, producer, and director. His personal pot of gold is a strong market for filmmaking in Ohio."As a Cincinnati-based filmmaker, I've made one feature at home and a second in San Diego," Amatulli said. "My personal objective is to make films in Ohio and be a part of a thriving industry. I feel the [tax] incentive shows the state's belief that we can provide the talent and services to attract filmmakers and help Ohio's economy in the long term."The Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit provides a total of $30 million to film production companies who complete an Ohio shoot in Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011. Similar tax credits in other states have bolstered the growth of their film industries and created jobs. Amatulli estimates "Life After" will employ around 150 people. On top of the wages earned, young professionals in the industry will gain experience—and perhaps stay here. "Other filmmakers will come here if they can get the level of [film personnel] professionalism you can find elsewhere," says Amatulli.The website for Arte Films, Amatulli's production company, says that Arte will apply a sound business strategy to the less predictable elements inherent in the motion picture world. Amatulli is uniquely positioned to strategize, having owned a communications business for 30 years. Producing corporate training and marketing videos prepared him well for the constraints of budget, time, and talent that filmmaking imposes. In the movie industry, as in many others, there's no one-size-fits-all model for success. Yet Amatulli maintains a sense of humor about the risks of doing business in a medium he loves. "Anyone who puts money in films has some hope of getting their money back." Written by: Elena StevensonSource: Jim Amatulli, president, Arte Films; Ohio Department of Development

Can Cincinnati find the 10 percent solution to urban growth?

Metropolitan regions around America often experience population growth while the primary city in that region is experiencing flat or declining population trends.  If these urban cities were able to capture just 10 percent of that regional growth it could have a major impact on those communities and region. In Cincinnati the metropolitan region has experienced continued growth to this day, but the city of Cincinnati has not.  Should Cincinnati be able to find the 10 percent solution to urban growth it would represent the addition of some 15,000 people over the course of the next decade.

OTR Good Girl’s gone ‘Bad’ and wants to bring others with her

Local attorney Candace Klein got the idea for micro-lender Bad Girl Ventures from her day-to-day interactions with entrepreneurs who've recently found it nearly impossible to finance their ideas. "I spend a lot of time in my profession with entrepreneurs, and at a series of meetings I was talking to people who couldn't get traditional bank loans. Some of them said 'I'm just going to use my credit cards.' That was scary to me," she said.That's when the Over-the-Rhine resident decided to make a change. She's just launched Bad Girl Ventures, which aims to provide funding for Cincinnati women-owned start ups. The idea is just getting off the ground and was first pitched publically at Ignite Cincinnati, a fast-paced, five-minute pitch event."It's really difficult for women-owned startups right now. And Cincinnati is really a philanthropic area. Personally, I've given to so many charities, political causes and organizations.  I thought, 'If there was a way I could give just a portion of that to a startup company that would create jobs, I would,'" Klein said. "I think we're really missing the boat on supporting women-owned startups."Bad Girl Ventures will be based on the micro-financing model of international organizations like Kiva,  where small loans from individuals are bundled together. Klein is kick starting Bad Girl with a 30-person meeting of invited potential financers and entrepreneurs March 19th downtown at Ingredients restaurant.Klein plans to finance the first start up this summer at the $25,000 level through a  competitive process. Five chosen startups will undergo a six-week entrepreneur competition, where their ideas will be voted on online by friends and family. They'll vote by pledging investment dollars. The entrepreneur who gets the most votes will have their idea funded by Bad Girl. Another round of financing will follow every six weeks or so.Bad Girl Ventures will be housed in the OTR Revitalization Corporation housed at the OTR Chamber.Writer: Feoshia HendersonSource: Candace Klein, Bad Girl Ventures Founder
