Officials at REDI Cincinnati recognized their opportunity to maximize the benefit of hosting Major League Baseball’s All-Star Week by “taking advantage of the spotlight shining on Cincinnati” to promote the city to top site consultants visiting for the event, the Cincinnati Business Courier reports. Site consultants “are specialists hired to help identify the best locations for corporate real estate or facilities,” and REDI Cincinnati “is being as innovative as possible to show off what the region has to offer,” according to the article. REDI Cincinnati planned “a Segway tour of the city, breakfast at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza and an aerial tour of the region,” in addition to other events. Monday’s plan included an event with top executives from General Electric Co., Macy’s, Proctor & Gamble Co., Kroger Co. and others; about 150 business leaders planned to “take time out of their schedule to help REDI sell the region.” For more, read the full article.
