10 Commercial Development Focus Initial Emphasis Should be Placed on the Following Three Distinct Commercial Nodes: 1. Entertainment District: Ohio Pike (S.R.125) from Merwin Ten Mile to Pierce Point 2. Retail District: Ohio Pike from Pierce Point to East Boundary of Amelia 3. Commercial & Office District: Ohio Pike from East Boundary of Amelia Through Hamlet to Eastern Township Boundary

11 Focus on Entertainment District The initial focus on development will concentrate on the Entertainment District. The Entertainment District is the gateway to the Township. The Entertainment District is unique and some development has already occurred. The Entertainment District is removed from the current areas subject to annexation.

12 The Entertainment District This will be the initial area of focus. Rifle shot and not shotgun. Consider the following projects: sports bar, microbrewery, bakery, steak house, and volleyball courts, Move existing Tiff money to make improvements Need to work with Township of Batavia to improve north side of Ohio Pike. Former Kroger's.

13 Commercial Development Task Create an Ohio Pike Redevelopment Plan which includes improving this corridor both functionally and aesthetically Create Regional Partnerships with the Townships of Union and Batavia and the Village of Amelia, Clermont County CIC, Clermont Port Authority and Clermont County TID, to pursue mutually beneficial opportunities Create a Marketing Plan as a proactive outreach tool to attract potential businesses/investors

14 Residential Goals Assist Zoning Commission to integrate new residential developments into the community that will stimulate growth in a managed fashion Maintain the course set with the existing land use plan and zoning resolution

15 Residential Tasks Improve existing infrastructure-focus on roads Develop a capital plan for key pieces of infrastructure Implement Large portions of Parks Master Plan

16 Infrastructure Improvement Consistent comments were to keep the residential character of Pierce Township intact. Do not try to increase Township revenue simply by adding rooftops. Some commented that they would be willing to pay to preserve character of Township. Consider a tax levy for drainage, road improvement and infrastructure.

17 Recreational Development Goals Promote existing park network Educate public about existence of parks in Township such as the township park by the river. Coordinate with Clermont County for joint sponsorship of events such as soccer tournaments and golf tournaments.
