Now that Liberty Center has been open for business almost two years, the Liberty Twp. trustees are anxious for another major development to come their way.

The three trustees recently met with local developers to find out what they need to locate major developments in the township.

The trustees are lamenting the fact TriHealth recently took its scaled back development across boundary lines to West Chester Twp. and three hotels are also under construction there, just on the other side of Liberty Way.

“There’s some frustration there that there’s three hotels going up on the south side of Liberty Way,” Trustee Tom Farrell said. “We’ve got this 88 acres set up for hotels but yet they, for whatever reason ended going to the south. It wasn’t our zoning, it wasn’t our cost, it wasn’t the land… I want to make sure we don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.”

Farrell was talking about a large tract of land at Liberty Way and Cox Road where TriHealth planned to go but then reversed direction.
