Greenhills Will Not Lose NHL Status as New Housing with Historic Design is Pursued

Greenhills is moving forward with a housing redevelopment intended to provide single family homes that meet the demands of current-day home buyers. The Village has identified seven (7) Village-owned sites that could be redeveloped into approximately 29 new single family homes.

The Village has reviewed its plans with the National Park Service. During very recent discussions with the National Park Service, the Park Service indicated that “we’re a long way off from any concerns along the lines…” of revoking the National Historic Landmark designation.

There are many reasons our National Historic Landmark status is safe. Greenhills has worked closely with John Senhauser Architects – a well-known local architectural firm with a specialty in historic properties – to design new homes that achieve the balance of modern living requirements with the unique historic design qualities we want to preserve in Historic Greenhills. (John Senhauser is Cincinnati’s best Modernist architect and longtime chair of the Cincinnati Historic Conservation Board.) With this development, the Village is respecting the significance of the historic -  and most defining - elements that led to its’ NHL designation – those being  the historic layout of  street and subdivision patterns in Greenhills, and taking advantage of the existing topography, as did original development in Greenhills.

2017 Leaf Collection Schedule

• Do not rake leaves into the street or storm sewers as it causes flooding.
• Raked leaves must be in between the street and sidewalk for the leaf truck to be able to pick-up.
• Do not rake twigs, branches, rocks, bottles, litter or paper in with leaves.  Mixed piles will not be picked up as these items can clog and damage the leaf machine causing considerable delay to leaf collection.
• Avoid parking in front of large piles of leaves.  It is difficult for the crew to work around parked cars and slows leaf collection.  Situate leaf piles away from trees, sign posts and hydrants in order to speed collection.
• Alternatively, Rumpke will pick up bagged leaves with normal garbage pick-up.
