Dear Residents and Friends:
As Green Township residents, we are privileged to have excellent schools, churches, and a high quality of life. We are proud to be westsiders, some of us having grown up here, others moving here from neighboring communities, Westwood, Price Hill, and Mt. Airy. When we evaluate new development in the Township, we are conscious of maintaining a balance between residential, commercial, and other land uses to ensure that Green Township remains one of Hamilton County's most livable and desirable communities. We all know that Green Township has historically been competing with Harrison, Miami Township, and Indiana for residents. Recently, Green Township has begun competing with communities like Mason and West Chester and other emerging markets. Green Township needs a full complement of the same kind of employment, service, and residential living options offered in those communities, not just for the convenience of our residents, but to fundamentally help maintain our property values. When a community has good schools, safe shopping areas, convenient dining, and modern recreation opportunities, it is perceived within the larger real estate market as a desirable community. We have all seen the toll outward migration has had on the City, I (we) want Green Township to be a community people move to, not move from.
We have a fantastic housing stock in Green Township, with a mix of well-kept older homes complementing new subdivisions located throughout the township within all price ranges. Even though many areas in the nation are in the midst of a foreclosure crisis in the residential market, Green Township is fortunate to be weathering the storm. Our Public Services Department routinely inspects properties for compliance with our Property Maintenance Code (PMC) and nuisance statures in an ongoing commitment to ensure that we, as Township, are doing all we can to preserve the value of our neighborhoods.
Over the past decade, commercial development activity in the Township has lagged somewhat behind other communities in the region. We have not seen the rapid proliferation of new office buildings and retail and dining options as seen in communities like West Chester or Mason. What we have seen is sustainable moderate development that has kept pace with basic market demands; while much of the nation is experiencing a shrinking commercial real estate market we continue to see new projects enter the development pipeline. TriHealth (Good Samaritan) has partnered with Bremner/Duke in planning a new mixed use office/retail development for Harrison Avenue west of I-74. Construction will begin this Fall on the first phase of the project - a 45,000 square foot medical office building containing a 24-hour level 3 emergency facility. Plans call for up to an additional 150,000 square feet office space and approximately 30,000 square feet mixed use retail space for the 35 acre site. When completed the project is expected to bring more than 450 new jobs to the township. A second medical office project was approved in September - the 12-acre undeveloped site at North Bend Road and I-74 will see a 100,000 square foot regional medical office, employing more than 200.
This is a pivotal time for the Township. As we move forward into the future, we must confront change head on and work to ensure a bright future for our community. While we may not all agree on development issues, we all want Green Township to be an attractive, vibrant, and safe place to live and work.

Sincereley,
David Linnenberg, Green Township Trustee
