'Excited and Ready to Go': FC Cincinnati Begins Work to Create Stadium District in West End
FC Cincinnati is transforming a corner of the West End with a $300 million project creating a vibrant entertainment district. This "community hub" will feature apartments, shops, restaurants, offices, and green space, similar to areas near other major league stadiums.
While some residents worry about displacement, FC Cincinnati emphasizes fair treatment and existing income restrictions in the neighborhood will help mitigate this. The project is expected to bring jobs and amenities to the historically Black neighborhood, while the West End Community Council remains cautiously optimistic about the project's potential to improve the quality of life for residents.
