EVENDALE RECEIVES GRANT FROM DUKE ENERGY FOUNDATION FOR AEROHUB

The Village of Evendale was recently awarded $30,000 from the Duke Energy Foundation to help fund design plans for AeroHub, a 50+ acre, master-planned, development at I-75 and Glendale-Milford Rd. for advanced manufacturing, workforce development and similar synergistic businesses.  “Both Evendale and the Foundation share a common desire to create economic prosperity for our region” said Evendale Mayor Richard Finan.  “Duke Energy recognizes and appreciates Evendale’s efforts to create business growth and economic development” said Chad Shaffer, Senior Government Affairs Specialist for Duke Energy. Grant funds will be used to finalize plans for utility and roadway extensions providing direct access to developable lots. AeroHub’s first occupant, The Modal Shop, is currently constructing their new regional headquarters on 5 acres. The Village is finalizing a land purchase agreement with a second occupant who will be relocating and expanding their headquarters on 5+ acres.  Duke Energy is one of several financing partners including REDI Cincinnati and JobsOhio who, combined, play a vital role in development success throughout greater Cincinnati.
