Welcome — glad we connected at the Ohio Economic Development Association Summit!

If you’ve seen our presentation on The Goodrich, you know the transformative potential of adaptive reuse. Here, we dive deeper into what it takes to turn historic assets into thriving community anchors and how AVID supports economic developers and municipal leaders in making bold visions a reality.

Three Lessons for Transformational Development

Adaptive reuse projects are complex, but these considerations can drive success.

  • Positioning your project in a vibrant Live, Work, Play context maximizes community impact and market appeal.

  • Achieving historic preservation tax credits often depends on partnering with expert vendors who can replicate original window designs.

  • Thoughtful analysis of existing structural systems informs unit layouts, cost management, and long-term investment performance.
