River's Edge Could Get A Nice Shot In The Arm
RiversEdge stands as a cornerstone of Hamilton's economic vitality, drawing in crowds and revenue that bolster the city's financial landscape. Since its inception in 2017, the venue has been a magnet for over 175,000 attendees, injecting an impressive $6.25 million into the local economy through its diverse array of 120-plus events.
Now, with the recent passage of Ohio House Sub. House Bill 2, earmarking $1 million for Rivers Edge's redevelopment and expansion, the stage is set for a significant financial boost. This injection of funds, part of a broader initiative supporting Butler County projects, signals a strategic investment in Hamilton's economic future. Although awaiting Ohio Senate approval, the overwhelming support in the House underscores the project's significance.
Chief of Staff Aaron Hufford heralds this development as pivotal, propelling RiversEdge to new heights of success. With the city already committing $500,000 annually to the venue, the additional funding promises to catalyze further growth. In 2023 alone, the economic impact of RiversEdge more than doubled, with 25 shows attracting over 30,000 attendees and generating an estimated $1.1 million in local spending.
Phase 1 of the redevelopment plan, slated to commence pending funding, promises crucial enhancements, including a larger roof and essential infrastructure upgrades. This initial investment sets the stage for Phase 2, which will see the addition of amenities like concession areas and VIP lounges, addressing longstanding operational challenges.
The expansion project not only solidifies Rivers Edge's position as a cultural hub but also presents lucrative opportunities for revenue generation. By attracting bigger acts and introducing ticketed events alongside free concerts, the venue aims to maximize its financial potential while maintaining its community-oriented ethos.
Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Director Adam Helms anticipates another stellar lineup of events, promising a summer filled with entertainment and economic prosperity. With close to two dozen events planned, RiversEdge is poised to continue its legacy as a driving force behind Hamilton's economic resurgence.

State funds called ‘critical’ for Boys & Girls Clubs of Hamilton renovation project
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Hamilton were built by local donors in the 1960s and ‘70s. Thousands of kids have traveled through the two facilities, which still have wooden backboards and hand cranks to lower and raise them. Our children deserve an upgrade.
Contact your senator and tell them we need this.
