Miami Township, Clermont County, OH 

Transformation

Once the community weighed in on its vision and goals for the area, KZF’s planners and urban designers began developing a concept to transform the out-of-date commercial center into a thriving district for living, working, shopping and playing. Armed with a comprehensive assessment of the existing conditions in the area, including a real estate market study, a plan was developed which would build on the community assets.   


Assets 

            · Location in the geographic center of the Township 

            · Popular arterial roads serve the area from all directions 

            · Higher than average income among Township residents 

            · Market conditions ripe for new uses commonly found in an urban village 

            · A high percentage of vacant or under-utilized property 

            · Adjoining neighborhoods · Location of Township government facilities 

            · Strong public support for transformation 

            · A new Bypass built to state standards 


The end result is a plan that transforms the existing commercial business district into a new urban village
