It's been four years since Cincinnati Parks leaders announced that the long-awaited riverfront marina was finally going to be built.

Nothing has happened since, though. What happened? 

New Cincinnati Parks Director Kara Kish told The Enquirer's That's So Cincinnati Podcast that the Parks Board earlier this year requested and got an extension until 2023 for the $1.5 million state grant being used to help get the project going. 

"I am optimistic about (the marina)," Kish said. "I think it's in the future of the city."
