The Port is leading a long-term effort to preserve and reinvest in Sedamsville, creating new opportunities for families to plant roots in this historic hillside community. Since 2021, The Port has worked alongside the City of Cincinnati and the Hamilton County Landbank to acquire and stabilize local housing stock, laying the foundation for increased homeownership. Together, they purchased a 65-property portfolio out of receivership, 23 structures, 41 vacant lots, and one parking lot, for strategic redevelopment. Continued acquisitions through tax lien certificates have expanded the portfolio to 98 properties. The Port's CARE model will guide the renovation and sale of 18 homes, priced between $120,000 and $180,000, balancing quality and affordability. While addressing modern housing needs, The Port remains committed to protecting Sedamsville' s historic character. Many of the neighborhood's homes date back to the 1800s, and each project emphasizes architectural preservation and energy-efficient updates. In partnership with MSA Design, The Port is also helping to establish an Ohio Historical Marker celebrating Sedamsville's legacy as one of Cincinnati's earliest hillside neighborhoods. Through thoughtful renovation and design, The Port aims to ensure that new development reflects the community's cultural and historic identity. By combining resident support with targeted redevelopment, The Port is acting as a "market maker," addressing years of disinvestment and positioning Sedamsville for sustainable, inclusive growth rooted in community pride and homeownership.
