Cincinnati City Council to Vote on $8M Funding for New Outdoor Venue
Cincinnati City Council is set to consider an $8 million funding proposal for the Farmer Music Center, a new outdoor venue replacing Riverbend. The $160 million project, located on the old Coney Island site, is expected to open next year with a capacity for 20,000 fans. Music and Event Management, affiliated with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, will lead the build and operate the venue long-term. The Farmer Family Foundation contributed $60 million last spring, and construction is already underway. Five council members support the proposal, which could generate $100 million in annual economic impact and $15 million in new taxes over the first decade. The vote is scheduled for March 18th at City Hall, with a livestream on CitiCable. Approval would allocate the funds by June 30th. Supporters argue the venue keeps Cincinnati competitive and will pay back through ticket sales and job creation.
