Bureau of Economic Analysis, Ohio Department of Job and Family Services,
Office of Strategic Research and other respected sources to assess the state
of Hamilton County’s economy and labor force in the context of the
Cincinnati metropolitan region. The report includes an analysis of economic
trends that affect Hamilton County, Ohio and other counties of the

Business & Industry Clusters Report
In 2003, the HCRPC completed an identification and analysis of business and
industry clusters in Hamilton County. In April 2004, the HCRPC published
Community COMPASS Special Research Report No. 3-6: Hamilton County’s
Comparative and Competitive Advantages: Business and Industry Clusters,
2003. This report utilized data from the US Bureau of Census, County
Business Patterns, and many reports issued by States, Cities, Universities,
and other organizations and individuals in the US and elsewhere to make a
preliminary identification of Industry Clusters that are present in Hamilton
County and the region, and to outline the components and methods of an

Community Revitalization Initiative Strategic Plan (CRI)
The strategies described in “Initiative 27: Revitalization Including First
Suburbs” form the basis for the Community Revitalization Initiative
Strategic Plan. The first meeting of the CRI was in March 2003, convened by
the Hamilton County Planning Partnership. The CRI was an effort to bring
together policymakers, community leaders, and administrative professionals
from 25 of Hamilton County’s jurisdictions to develop a plan for our First
Suburbs. The Plan, published in March 2004, describes an overall vision and
six goals for revitalizing old communities, fourteen development strategies,
and eight objective data indicators for measuring progress and achievement.
To implement the CRI Strategic Plan, HCRPC has facilitated the development
of the First Suburbs Consortium by developing Bylaws, cooperation agreements
and providing administrative support.
Community Revitalization Tools Resource Book
A product of the Planning Partnership/Hamilton County Regional Planning
Commission, the Community Revitalization Tools Resource Book and Website
were designed as a quick reference toolkit/guides that assist administrators
and economic development officials in locating resources available for the
revitalization of housing and business districts. Including reference
materials for more than 20 organizations and hundreds of programs with a
cross reference system that allows the user identify at a glance where to go
for assistance. Hard copies were produced for Planning Partnership
jurisdiction members.
Property Maintenance Workshop Series: Effective Code Enforcement Seminar &
Legal Aspects of Code Enforcement Seminar
Major threats to communities are a decrease in property values and loss of
population. Some Hamilton County communities are looking to property
maintenance code enforcement as a viable tool against blight and decay. To
address this issue, the Planning Partnership/Hamilton County Regional
Planning Commission, in collaboration with PACE (Professional Association of
Code Enforcement) presented workshops in August and December 2004 to create
broader awareness of the current situation, options and local practices, as
well as, to promote dialogue between local jurisdictions on property
maintenance issues. Workshop presentations and information can be accessed
at the Planning Partnership WEB page.
Biotechnology Industrial Cluster Analysis
This analysis primarily be completed in the fall and winter of 2004 as
components of a Ph.D. dissertation in Economic Geography at the University
of Cincinnati. The analysis will include 1.) an examination of magnitude,
specialization and change of biotech clusters at the aggregate level for 51
major metropolitan regions; 2.) analysis of the internal structure inside
biotech clusters at the industry sector level for Cincinnati and six
comparable metropolitan areas: Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, St. Louis,
Louisville, Cleveland and Columbus; and 3.) a firm level investigation of
biotech firms in Cincinnati. This analysis will utilize the REMI Model for
the analysis of biotech sector in Cincinnati. The study will evaluate the
growth potential of biotechnology for the region compared to the potentials
of other identified industrial clusters.

If you want to feel rich, just
count all of the things you have that money can’t buy.
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without
many comforts and hopes.
