Initiatives

1.) Amberley Green:

Amberley Green is a 133 acre former golf club that was acquired by Amberley Village. The site is currently open to residents for walking and running, primarily using the old cart paths. Mt. Notre Dame HS refurbished the tennis courts for the home team and can be used by residents in the off-hours. The Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) is currently working to determine the long term use of the property and agreed that there are four major development ideas with permanent park areas running throughout that encompass all the ideas below. The four areas for development area: Agricultural, Institutional Campus, Lifestyle Housing and Town Square.

2.) The North Site:

Formerly the Amberley Village Swim Club, it is a 27 acre property near the Ronald Reagan Cross-County HWY and Ridge Road crossing. The Village owned property is considered to be a prime economic development opportunity for the Village due to the central location and highway visibility. However, access is a major issue not to mention the economic times. The Village maintenance facility is located on a portion of this site and could be relocated if necessary.

3.) Losantiville School

A Cincinnati Public School property AV was built in 1954 and used until recently. It served as a CPS swing space and is now considered a surplus facility. The 10+ acre property abuts the corporation line of Golf Manor and is adjacent to Amberley Village's disconnected business/industrial zone as well as the observant Jewish community. A portion of the site has been considered for relocation of the AV maintenance facility if needed.

4.) Connectivity:

Connectivity is a concern for the active and religious residents. There are no walking or bicycle paths in Amberley Village to link French Park, AG, JCC Village Hall, religious places and the neighborhoods of the community. Safety for pedestrians and bikers is a key concern, as is the design, funding and implementation. This fits with concepts of Amberley Village as a healthy community promoting healthy lifestyle activities in safe, park-like environments with the ability to increase transportation opportunities while trying to reduce short car trips, emissions and congestion.
