Taft partner Sonya Jindal Tork is pleased to have acted as legal counsel for Kingsley + Co. in securing unanimous Cincinnati City Planning Commission and City Council approval for rezoning of a 3.9-acre site in the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio from manufacturing to urban mix to facilitate the construction of a 182-unit multi-family housing development. The project is intended to address the critical need for affordable housing in Cincinnati, helping those making between 30% and 80% of the Area Media Income. Sonya played a key role, working alongside the development team, in developing and implementing the extensive community engagement to secure support from community stakeholders. This development has been featured in three Cincinnati Business Courier articles as noted below.
