BLACK DEVELOPERS CONFERENCE
September 12th & 13th 2024
This two-day conference championed by the office of Councilman Reggie Harris, represents a collaborative effort on behalf of The City of Cincinnati, The PORT, The Cincinnati Development Fund, and The Greater Cincinnati Realtist Association.
With a goal to increase minority development opportunities by fostering public/private partnerships and eliminating barriers that hinder the opportunities for minority firms to obtain favorable contracts. As well as facilitate a tangible connection of resources between the region's minority developers and development opportunities through streamlined access to both the Urban Land Insitute's The R.E.A.L Program and The PORT's Queen City Developer Membership Organization.
We are committed to delivering a robust foundation of resources that empowers developers, investors and minority business owners to take advantage of plentiful development opportunities and improve their development experience.
