Landbank Drives Revitalization Through The Frank: Neighborhood Deli & Grill (Video)

The Hamilton County Landbank, a managed entity of The Port, supported the transformation of a long-vacant, deteriorating historic building in Lower Price Hill into The Frank: Neighborhood Deli & Grill, the neighborhood’s first sit-down restaurant in decades. Through strategic stabilization and partnership with local organizations, the project brings a much-needed dining amenity while advancing broader revitalization efforts along the corridor.
