The Winton Road Streetscape Project is a joint effort between the Township and the Hamilton County Engineer’s Office.  The vision for this project is a direct result of meetings between the Township, the County, business owners and residents that took place several years ago in order to devise a strategy to revitalize the commercial areas of Winton Road.  It was determined that Winton Road should be widened to provide a safer more adequate roadway for the amount of cars that utilize it on a daily basis.  Additionally, it became apparent that in order for existing businesses to reinvest into their properties and to attract new development to the area, the Township needed to invest into the infrastructure of Winton Rd. to create a sense of identity.  Therefore, the streetscape plan was initiated.
 
In partnership with the County Engineer’s Office, the Township created a plan that would take advantage of the fact that the County would be performing construction on Winton and incorporated the streetscape plans into the road construction project.  The result is a more cost-effective method of completing the project.  The streetscape project consists of decorative sidewalks, street lights, landscaping at major gateways, and mast arms at the intersections of the two Comptons and Galbraith.  This project is scheduled to be complete in September of 2009.  

        



The Winton Road project has already been a catalyst for private investment into the revitalization of the Corridor.  Centro Realty, owner of Brentwood Shopping Center, Kroger, Chipotle, Walgreen’s and Panera Bread are but a few of the users that have already invested millions of dollars into the re-development of the Corridor, in part as a result of this project. In addition, other projects are in the planning stages such as Cincinnati Financial and its anticipated use of the former Kroger store as a business continuity center.  Also, the property at the intersection of Compton and Winton is being proposed as the site for the Winton Shoppes project, which will be a retail site consisting of several tenants that have not yet been announced.

In conclusion, the Township is making an investment into the revitalization of Winton Road and setting a standard for development in the future.  Along with this investment, Township officials will continue to work closely with the business community to attract and retain quality businesses that increase property values and provide residents with the shopping choices they desire.
