2030 Districts – a national model for urban sustainability – are made up of property owners and managers who make a collective commitment to reduce their buildings’ energy use, water consumption and transportation emissions by 50% by the year 2030. The Cincinnati 2030 District is a collaborative effort to create a network of healthy, high-performing buildings in Cincinnati. Property owners will not be required to achieve the goals of the District by legislative mandates, or as individual buildings. Rather, we will do so collectively because full participation in the District brings collaboration, shared resources and innovative solutions that will lead to cost savings, healthier buildings and a more livable, desirable city. This, in turn, helps Cincinnati attract and retain a high caliber workforce, new entrepreneurial talent and economic development.
