County approves sale of 222 Central Parkway for workforce housing development

Hamilton County authorized the sale of 222 Central Parkway to Alms and Depkey LLC for $12,130,000, a transaction the administration said advances the county's policy priority on workforce and affordable housing.

Project and policy goals: Administration told the board the county intentionally prioritized workforce and affordable housing in disposition policy rather than accepting only highest-price bids. Staff said the planned development would be a mix of workforce and market-rate housing, with an approximate two-thirds share of units designated as workforce housing.

Terms and next steps: The sale is subject to a 60-day due-diligence period and was presented as revenue to help fund the county's central campus relocation project. Commissioners supported repurposing obsolete county properties for residential uses to meet community needs.

Votes: The motion to approve the sale passed on a roll call recorded in the meeting minutes.
