From WKRC 12 Cincinnati:
A nine-story apartment building that provides hundreds of affordable housing units is getting a major facelift. The Pinecrest building in Price Hill hadn't been updated since the '70s.
The work is part of a $1-billion transformation project through the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority. CMHA is using tax credits to get the work done without raising the rent.
