May 04 Hall-Jordan "But we want both projects to move forward," Hudson said Monday, following a meeting of DCI's executive committee. "And we believe we can start raising money for the project as soon as city council moves forward on Lazarus and the conservatory." Business leaders said they will assist raising up to $10 million needed to build the conservatory. The rest of the money will come from public sources, including the state and the city. Council has yet to vote on the conservatory project, and the city is still negotiating a lease with Lazarus. DCI was concerned last week that delaying the Lazarus opening until fall, 1996, would damage retail sales downtown.

Lazarus originally planned to open the store in fall, 1995, to capture the holiday shopping season. But Monday, Mayor Roxanne Quails and City Manager John Shir-ey said it would impossible for Lazarus to open next year. "They simply can't build a store that fast," Quails said. "The conservatory wasn't going to delay the opening of the store. There's no way Lazarus can open by the fall of 1995." DCI representatives were planning to tell city council's Finance Committee on Monday that they were behind the conservatory project.

But at the start of the meeting, Chairman Dwight Tillery told DCI it would have to wait until the end of the meeting, which lasted more than three hours, to address the committee. The DCI representatives said they would return to council Wednesday. BY PATRICK CROWLEY The Cincinnati Enquirer An influential downtown business group will maintain its support and its commitment to raise money for the proposed Fountain Square West conservatory. Bannus Hudson, chairman of Downtown Cincinnati Inc. (DCI), said Monday that the conservatory "is an attraction that can draw people downtown and we're keeping our support behind it." Last week, DCI considered pulling its support of the $33 million project, planned to be built in concert with a Lazarus store.

DCI was concerned after Lazarus officials said they would delay the opening of their store a year while the Cincinnati Park Board raised money for the conservatory.

The Vision Task Force spent six months analyzing how Cincinnati's sagging downtown must change so by 2020 it is a hotbed of commerce, tourism and entertainment. After fielding responses from 4,000 regional residents, the group offered its plan Monday.

Some of its recommendations: Make certain that downtown is safe and secure for residents and visitors, as well as accessible and convenient. Mold a downtown that is vibrant, exciting and attractive for families and children. Link downtown closer to the ptiio River and Northern Kentucky. Focus on the future, but reflect on the city's history and tradition. Improve transportation by building high-speed trains to the airport, shuttle buses for downtown and light-rail lines to the suburbs.

Build a Reds ballpark and conservatory. Later, consider an aquarium and domed stadium for the Bengals. Offer open-air restaurants, street benches, lots of green space and sidewalk festivals. Erect signs in different languages, with police officers well-versed in at least one foreign language. Build more housing, especially in Over-the-Rhine and along the riverfront, without displacing current residents.

Emphasize schools as neighborhood resources and make employment training a priority at a downtown job center. Renovate and expand the Sabin Convention Center, Findlay Market and Fountain Square. sences: no priorities, specuic sues, timetables or funding sources for the projects, which easily could top $2 billion.

"Now is the time for DCI to digest the work," Hudson said. In June, the group and its subcommittees on everything from housing and shopping to entertainment, sports teams and transportation will reconvene and begin work on achieving the vision.

"It's not the time to get overly hung up on priorities 1, 2 and 3," Hudson added. But the omissions left some observers at Monday morning's news conference puzzled. "What's the shelf life of this one?" asked Peter Strauss, a long-, time council member who left last year, the victim of term limits. He spent years toiling with such plans as the Year 2000 Report, its 1990 revision and a handful of other consultants' studies. "It's reminiscent of our Garfield i Housing plan from four or five years ago when council always was receiving plans du jour.

I hope this isn't the same," Strauss said. Hibbard acknowledged that his vision report with the exception of emphasizing downtown public schools and improved job-training efforts is not in uncharted wa-; ter. "Five months ago, you and I I could have written this," he said. But what's different now is that it of council's Community Development Committee. "That's one of the reasons I think this plan can work.

We asked the people what they wanted, and they've told us." The next few weeks will be critical to how history remembers the task force's efforts. A $300,000 campaign to market the vision from newspaper inserts to a most-unusual 30-minute uninterrupted video on Cincinnati television stations in late June will begin Sunday. The mission: Lasso wide regional support for the far-reaching vision so that downtown's renaissance can be sparked. "There's no road map here. There's no timetable.

But everyone knows we have a serious situation on our hands," said task force member Roger Ach, head of Chicago West Pullman Corp. "It's late in the fourth quarter, we're a few points behind, and we have to put the ball in the end zone." Hibbard was equally direct: "It's time to breathe new life in an old, proud city and make it again the place it was meant to be." Reporter Patrick Crowley contributed to this report. now has a grass-roots feel. "People telephoned, faxed and wrote us, telling us that they were tired of downtown's current problems. They told us now is the time to do something, because if we didn't, downtown will continue to slip.

That's why this report is so much different than anything that ever has been offered," Hibbard said. Business leaders, who have been criticized recently by some council members for their high-profile role in downtown development, plan to use the taxpayers' response as leverage in getting the downtown vision implemented. If council members criticize or delay action on the plan, they will be reminded that thousands of taxpayers many of them city voters called for a change. "The very same people who have input in this are the very same people who vote," Hibbard said. Most council members had not read the report Monday.

Those who did gave it a preliminary thumbs-up. "There is broad community participation in this report. A real effort was made to find out what people want downtown," said Councilwoman Bobbie Sterne, head REBOLD Funeral Home Monument Service 661-6200 ENGELHART Paul beloved husband of Jean Engelhart (nee Gilmer), dear father of Paula McManus of Essex, Ct Donna Gradt of Dallas, Linda Gunther of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Mark Engelhart, Beth Engelhart of Zambia, Africa, Joe Engelhart, Peggy Zink, Ame Engelhart of New York, Ny. and Jenny Engelhart.
