The Port of Cincinnati Development Authority announced Friday that it has received 12 submittals from developers who would like to build the riverfront neighborhood known as The Banks.

        Port Authority officials, however, refused to release the names of any of the developers or contents of their proposals.

        In June, the Port Authority asked interested developers to send them documents outlining their qualifications to work on the project. The deadline for those submissions was Friday.

        Tim Sharp, interim president of the Port Authority, said the documents are not being made public because they contain sensitive financial information.
