Steve Leeper came to Cincinnati in 2003 to lead 3CDC, a development agency then focused on Over-the-Rhine’s troubles. A walk through that neighborhood shows success there and now the agency has turned its sights on downtown. 
In a rare, wide-ranging, candid interview, Leeper joins That’s So Cincinnati to discuss:
 

Whether the streetcar played a role in OTR development.
What’s coming to the former Downtown Macy’s.
The new hotel convention center.
FC Cincinnati’s investment in the West End and why this city can be so negative.

While Jason Williams vacations, Enquirer Editor Beryl Love fills in as TSC cohost with Sharon Coolidge. Coolidge explains streetcar funding, they talk about Skyline’s newest contest and Beryl Love talks (and sings) longtime Cincinnati radio jingles.
