New landmark honors river history
Over the next few months, a 150-foot tower will rise from Cincinnati's Public Landing to create a landmark for the city's riverfront and commemorate Cincinnati's river history.
The Cincinnati Recreation Commission hopes to have the $2.5 million project finished by Tall Stacks in October.
State capital funds are paying for the project, which has cleared all the necessary city hurdles, said recreation commission spokesman Jess Parrett.
The tower will be 16 feet in diameter at its base and will have a steel structure 60 feet wide on top that will have lights and be reflective.
“It will act kind of like a beacon,” Mr. Parrett said.
The tower will sit at the foot of Broadway. Originally, a paddle wheel was supposed to be paired with the tower. But officials can't determine where to place the paddle wheel until they know where the Reds new ballpark will sit, Mr. Parrett said.
