The Banks, an urban LEED neighborhood

It is not too late to consider developing the Banks as a LEED neighborhood. Having 12 city blocks of high-value real estate for development into an urban community is an unprecedented opportunity, one unlikely to be found in most major American cities. To develop the Banks as a green, sustainable LEED neighborhood would certainly put Cincinnati on the progressive map. Going green would also access federal funds allocated for LEED-ND. We need a clear and sustained focus rather than random elements of sustainability that the overlay of LEED-ND requirements can provide.
