About this event
On Thursday, October 24, 2024, at 7:00PM the City of Saratoga Springs, in partnership with the Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation, will present a FREE in-person program, “Historic Fabric, Modern Needs: Insights from Cincinnati’s Willkommen Infill Projects” with Emily S. Ahouse and Chad Burke at the “Skip” Scirocco Music Hall, 474 Broadway 3rd Floor, Saratoga Springs, NY.
The presentation will focus on three infill projects that are part of the larger Willkommen development in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. It will explore how sometimes conflicting elements—historic and zoning guidelines, affordability policies, and contemporary design—can be balanced to mend the fabric of a historic neighborhood.
The overall Willkommen project includes 16 historic and four new infill buildings. As a mixed-use, mixed-income development, it represents the largest addition of affordable housing to Cincinnati’s urban core in decades.
Emily and Chad will also discuss how the project navigated the City’s Historic Conservation Board review process during the revision of the Over-the-Rhine Infill Design Guidelines. This presentation will highlight its impact on the guidelines and lessons learned as the City adopted new standards for infill design.
