Cincinnati Ready-Mix

The City of Fort Thomas is negotiating with federal officials to purchase 10 Army homes on Alexander Circle behind Tower Park for $510,000, Fort Thomas City Administrator Ron Dill said. Last October, VA officials agreed to allow Fort Thomas to buy the homes before lead paint and asbestos are removed. The cost of removing lead and asbestos up to $510,000 will be refunded to the city as part of the deal. In the meantime, Cincinnati-based developer Bloomfield/Schon + Partners is working on a separate deal to create a development contract with Fort Thomas. The contract will be ready to activate once the city takes ownership of the homes, Dill said. The plan is to fix up the homes and sell them to private hands. (Cincinnati Enquirer)
