This was the former site of the Butterkist Bakery building, a mixed-use property, built in 1927, slab on grade, with (4) retail spaces on the lower level and (4) one bedroom apartments on the upper level. The other building that formerly occupied the site was a convenience store built in 1975. Sometime later, a cell tower was placed between the 2 buildings. Over the years, the properties transferred ownership several times and the Butterkist Building became vacant and deteriorated. The convenience store and its parking lot became a magnet for many types of crime. The site had become a dangerous, blighted eyesore at a prominent corner in West Price Hill. Price Hill Will (PHW) acquired these properties in 2015 for the initial purpose of site control and nuisance elimination. Long-term plans involved creating a new, mixed-use development. The Hamilton County Land Reutilization Corporation generously agreed to raze both building on PHW’s behalf, but required temporary ownership of the Butterkist building due to their funding restrictions. The ownership of the now vacant Butterkist site will revert to Price Hill Will when needed for future development.  In 2016 Price Hill Will was awarded 2 million dollars from the Cincinnati City Council for a new use development demonstrating great interest in the economic vitality of this West Price Hill business node.
