RIVERFRONT MILL DISTRICT
 

The 26 acre Riverfront Mill District is located just south of downtown and is adjacent to the Great Miami River.  With a history of commercial and industrial uses, the area has been challenged in past redevelopment efforts.  However, given the district’s location and existing assets, the area is a prime area for redevelopment.
