Summary
Prospect wants to annex land along the Ohio River to build a walkable mixed-use downtown with apartments, retail, and restaurants — a smaller-scale take on Norton Commons. Metro Council approval is required under state law, and a follow-up annexation is likely for a parcel left out by a lot consolidation.
