WHAT IS THE TOP OPPORTUNITES LIST?
Heritage Ohio announced their Ohio’s Top Ten Opportunities List at their statewide preservation and revitalization conference at the Millennium Hotel in Cincinnati. Ten buildings were chosen across the state representing a variety of building types and a variety of opportunities to investors and communities.

Heritage Ohio’s Top Ten Opportunities List, new in 2007, is intended to draw attention to buildings that may be under-utilized or await redevelopment. It also seeks to show the public that what may appear as a vacant building today, may be tomorrow’s hot spot: offering a location that may provide loft housing, the latest restaurant or retail establishment or a new center of commerce. Communities should look at their historic assets as opportunities to create individualized local destinations as opposed to the generic America of contemporary strip centers, shopping malls, and office parks.
