Research Toward Urban Solutions for the 21st Century
Findings of the “Mt. Auburn Retail Market Study” will be presented to the public from 6 – 8 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 20, at The Christ Hospital Auditorium, 2139 Auburn Ave. This study will provide the Mt. Auburn community with the data needed to make informed decisions to drive economic growth in the neighborhood.
In conducting the Mt. Auburn Retail Market Study, the Economics Center compared Mt. Auburn to similar neighborhoods that have major medical centers within their boundaries. The comparison cities were Atlanta; Chicago; New Haven, Conn.; St. Paul, Minn.; and Washington, DC.
This approach accounts for both the lifestyle-based consumer preferences of area residents and the presence of the hospital as a major employer, traffic generator and source of retail demand.
The business types with the greatest potential for success are eating places and food services; gift, book, and music stores; as well as clothing and related merchandise stores.
“Working collaboratively with community leaders and having active involvement and support from The Christ Hospital made this a great experience for all participants, and the result is a very solid analysis that can be used to guide business development efforts,” said Jeff Rexhausen, associate director of research at the Economics Center for Education & Research at the University of Cincinnati. “We have developed a state-of-the-art approach, grounded in industry best practices, in order to identify realistic opportunities for neighborhood retail expansion.”
The market data from the Mt. Auburn analysis have identified substantial potential for new retail businesses in the Mt. Auburn neighborhood, the hilltop gateway between downtown and uptown Cincinnati.
“The study was based on practical, well-grounded methodology,” said Rexhausen. “It should serve their business district well.”
In addition to the study rollout, a panel will be available Tuesday night to address issues about the market potential, financing and other considerations for creating and sustaining a viable business district within Mt. Auburn. Scheduled panelists include
- Roxanne Qualls, Cincinnati City Council member
- Jeannie Golliher, president and CEO, Cincinnati Development Fund
- Michael Cervay, director, City of Cincinnati Community Development Dept.
- John Rickert, Ricor Development and local business recruitment strategist
- Holly Dorna, president of the Mt. Auburn Chamber of Commerce
- Freeman McNeal, president of the Mt. Auburn Community Council
