 DEVELOPERAs a developer, 3CDC directly manages a redevelopment or new construction project. The developer is responsible for hiring all of the partners for a project. The partners work directly for and report to the developer. This is a role that 3CDC may play when redeveloping public spaces such as Fountain Square. As the development entity formed by the City and the corporate community to spearhead economic development downtown, 3CDC was hired by the City, which owns Fountain Square, to oversee and manage the plaza and garage renovation.In that role, 3CDC was responsible for every aspect of the project, from design to managing the bidding and construction process. The Fountain Square renovation began in October 2005. The Square was rededicated in October 2006. Other public project examples of 3CDC's role as a developer include the Vine Street streetscape project in Over-the-Rhine, undertaken in partnership with the City of Cincinnati in the summer of 2009, and the expansion and renovation of Washington Park, which began in fall 2010 and will open in June 2012. |
