West Price Hill to get new brewery, restaurant near Elder High School Segann March Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
West Price Hill residents want a family-friendly restaurant and a craft brewery to replace blighted property across the street from Elder High School. Their dreams for the neighborhood are close to becoming a reality. More than 30 residents, government offi cials and nonprofi t leaders gathered in West Price Hill on March 4 to celebrate the revitalization announcement of the Glenway Avenue Business Dis-
trict. Rachel Hastings, the executive director of Price Will Hill, said both Verge Brewery Company and the Cafeo Hospitality Group are interested in occupying the buildings in the 4000 block of Glenway Avenue. “We want restaurants and coff ee shops,” Hastings said. “We want other places to go as a family. West Price Hill is a very family-oriented neighborhood. Folks want to be able to stay in the neighborhood to go grab a cup of coff ee,
get something to eat or grab a beer.” The project is a part of the Neighborhood Enhancement Program, a collaborative eff ort between residents, nonprofi ts and City departments to transform and develop neighborhoods across Cincinnati. When the Port acquired the buildings two years ago, there was chatter about leveling the block for new development, according to Laura Hamilton, president of the West Price Hill Community Council.

Hamilton said some residents were upset about the idea and decided they wanted to save the buildings and make them reusable. A year ago, Price Hill Will managed to get the titles to the buildings and began soliciting businesses. “The bones in these buildings are still solid,” Hamilton said. Pete Bender, a co-founder of Verge Brewing, said there is a 90-day plan in place to look at the architectural structure of the buildings. He hopes the brewery will open within 18 months.
