And In Pleasant Ridge . . .

Pleasant Ridge Development Corporation (PRDC) was the first Cincinnati neighborhood designated a Community Entertainment District (CED) and awarded five new liquor licenses on Nov. 24, 2010. Emanu, an existing East African restaurant, purchased the first license. Since then, Emanu has seen a 15 percent increase in sales. The CED has also helped the PRDC attract new businesses to the vacant corner on Montgomery and Ridge Roads. With local developer Gene Levental, the PRDC recently obtained a $200,000 city grant to renovate six storefronts, with the end goal of attracting new restaurants.

"The CED was the first step in creating momentum in our neighborhood," says Jason Chamlee, president of the PRDC. "It's an attractive asset to have, but we have to build off the assets that we already have." Find much more in the 5/1/12 edition feature, www.soapboxmedia.com
