The expanded project repair erosion problems along both the Ohio and Licking build walkways and bike paths along both and extendthe project’ s footprint to include such elements as a tramway to connec t Devou Park to Mainstrasse Village in downtown All that boosts the project’s estimatesd cost to $170 million far higher than the $50 million price tag for the originapl Riverfront Commons plan.

We need to try to creatde the vision, make the economic case and then begin to sell that conceprtto everybody.” And it seems so far, just about everybodyu is sold. Vision 2015 has won suppory forthe project among communitty groups and residents, and Southbank has convincede city and county government leaders of the project’ws worth and value, said Vision 2015 President John President Steve Stevens said business leaders have been too. After all, securing funding for the projectf was high on the list of prioritie s when the chamber took a grou p to meet with congressional leadersin D.C., earlier this year.

In just two months, Southbank raised $170,000 from loca l governments and private citizens who want to see the projec tmove forward. Local governments have been willinbto contribute, despite their own financial woes, because they understandr the impact the project could have for the regiom long-term, said Covington Mayor Denny Bowman. “Our job is not to just do a renderinh and not to just do a study but to continu e all efforts to see that we implement the Bowman said.
