Cincinnati leaders have wanted a marina near downtown for more than two decades.

Originally envisioned as part of Smale Riverfront Park, Cincinnati Parks won a permit for that site in 2015 but never moved forward there.

Now, plans for a new site are firming up.

Enterprise reporter Patricia Gallagher Newberry here, with news about the new site.

Fresh renderings depict a tropic-themed marina with a restaurant, bar and dock. A public notice about the project – open for comment through the end of the month – provides other new particulars.
