Who paid to build Via Vite?
Posted by The Dean of Cincinnati
Dear Councilmembers from 2007:
I would like to know about the Yes vote each of you cast for City ordinance 85-2007.
When you cast this vote, was it your understanding that the City of Cincinnati would pay construction costs for the Via Vite restaurant—a building that 3CDC leases to that restaurant for at least $60,000 per year while only paying the city $100 annually? Are you aware of what the building cost?
Thanks,
The Dean of Cincinnati

Dear Councilmembers of 2007:
I have not heard from any of you regarding my message of June 4th, copied below. Roxanne Qualls’ office, who is copied on the strand, did write to make sure I remembered she was not on council, but I have not heard from the rest of you.
According to The Cincinnati Beacon’s senior analyst, Michael Earl Patton, the ground lease mentioned in City ordinance 85-2007 identifies the City of Cincinnati as the party responsible for paying $2.5 million in costs to construct the facility housing Via Vite on Fountain Square. Is this true? If Patton has made an error, can you explain where?
We are eager to understand what happened with this situation.
Respectfully,
The Dean of Cincinnati
