I think Cincinnati has a shot if the region can convince Sundance that we're willing to go truly "all in" on the event. Blink has shown that when get all of the regional governments, non-profits, and corporations working together to promote and fund and run a large event, we can do it really well. Sundance would be the same thing, but bigger, and annually instead of biannually. But, since Sundance is already an internationally known event, it would have a significantly larger impact on Cincinnati's brand than Blink does.

 

Totally agree. This is why I think we have a stronger shot than most people realize. Having the Chamber and its various entities/connections pushing to make Sundance huge would really boost our ability as a region to leverage it. This is why Blink mattered. It shows that Cincinnati can do big things and that we are ready for primetime. 


Cincinnati needs some big wins like Sundance to bring an influx of new people and new ideas to the area.

It was a great listen. He talked about how they visited during and were blown away by Blink. What a great showcase for the city and also so Sundance could see that their festival could really grow here. (Attendance for Sundance is approximately 160k over 10 days, Blink was over 2 million in 4 days).

If we get Sundance (and after we get a Sports Commission) and some big sports events, the returns on the Blink investment will look extremely good. Once Cincinnati becomes a larger presence on the national radar, local leadership should make it a priority to welcome new voices/businesses/communities/investment. Would be a pity to do all this work and attract all this attention without converting it into jobs/investments/influx of population.

Speaks to the Cincys truly big time collection of giants like Kroger, P&G and Now GE Aerospace and others.

The Cincinnati metro area topped Cleveland and Columbus as the No. 1 destination in Ohio for homebuyers and renters earning at least $1 million a year, according to a new report from RentCafe.

The Cincinnati area saw the number of homeowners with seven-figure incomes jump from 67 in 2019 to 507 in 2023, based on U.S. Census figures reported by the apartment search and housing data analytics firm.

The Cleveland and Columbus areas both trailed Cincinnati with about 360 such homeowners in 2023, according to the report.

As is customary, “reports” - even from esteemed sources like RentCafe.com are best when shared within the appropriate thread: https://urbanohio.com/topic/7049-another-dumb-a-list-ranking-of-cities/page/48/#comment-1193994

Nope, it’s based on census figures and is certainly tied to Cincys great collection of HQs. Nice try tho. Haha.

“Cincinnati has some big employers, and some of their C-suite executives who may have been earning $850,000 a year five years ago are now earning more than a million.”
