A three-member panel — also including Leonard Robinson, partner at Robinson Lawton Kent Realtors in Middletown, and Bob Steinbach, director of regional initiatives at the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission — spoke in front of about 350 audience members.
The seemingly endless construction along I-75, is the product of
years of planning by the private sector, he said, which means market
demand in the 50-mile stretch between downtown Cincinnati and Dayton
should not be considered a recent phenomenon.
“New development is taking place because people took the time to put them in place,” Robinson said.
Policinski said the bigger “region” is growing at historically high
rates, but “governments’ absolute inability to grasp partnerships with
the private sector” is inhibiting economic development.
“We have been beating on this drum for five years,” Policinski said. “You would think you are asking them to do the impossible.”
Meanwhile, around the country, private-public partnerships are
flourishing and leaving southwest Ohio at an economic disadvantage, he
said.
