Hamilton Realtor Tour
July 14, 2016
We would like to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to tour Hamilton, Ohio today. We are glad that you are visiting Hamilton so you can witness first-hand the revitalization that is happening throughout our city. There is much to be excited about in Hamilton. Buildings are being renovated, people are moving in, and the business community is growing. As we aggressively pursue companies in our target industries, the energy and excitement continues to grow throughout the city. As Butler County’s urban alternative, Hamilton stands out from neighboring communities by providing a vibrant, walkable downtown for urban living. By focusing and capitalizing on our unique downtown, we have created an atmosphere that is not easily duplicated. And people are starting to notice. Some of our recently completed projects include RiversEdge Amphitheater, the Mercantile Lofts, Artspace Hamilton lofts, 150 High Street (conversion of a
former downtown department store into office and retail space), and the Journal-News building (home to the Butler Tech School of the Arts and the Miami Valley Ballet Theatre). The amenities in our downtown and surrounding historic neighborhoods are continuing to grow. In addition to the traditional urban amenities of a library, creative arts center, central park, bike trail, and public transit network, there are also ten restaurants, twelve shops, and most other amenities one would need, including a pharmacy, dry cleaner, and a grocery store, all in walking distance . Furthermore, companies are investing in Hamilton. Barclaycard has opened a customer contact center in Hamilton that will employ 1,500. STARTEK, an international call center company, chose to locate a new 700 person call center in downtown Hamilton. ODW LTS, a downtown Hamilton logistics company, is also undergoing rapid growth.
TriHealth has invested $46 million in its Hamilton hospital complex. ThyssenKrupp Bilstein, a manufacturer of automobile parts which is headquartered in Hamilton, recently invested $26 million in its Hamilton campus and is hiring for an additional 214 jobs. This is their third expansion since 2011. iMFLUX, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Procter & Gamble, chose to locate in Hamilton in 2013, bringing their 30 current employees and creating 221 new jobs as they invested $50 million in capital improvements. We hope that you see firsthand the projects that are putting Hamilton on the region’s radar. The revitalization of our city has taken off over the past few years. Our strong partnerships and “can-do” attitude make Hamilton a dynamic place to live, work, and play. Let’s have a conversation about the possibilities that are abundant in Hamilton.
Sincerely,
Joshua Smith City Manager
Pat Moeller Mayor
