Could Walnut Hills co-working space save neighborhood’s Kroger?

Council members believe the Durner co-working space will have more opportunities for minority business owners. “Often times when we see this revitalization people get left out. Not only is there an opportunity to house and give opportunity to small business entrepreneurs, but the people that will really benefit from this is African American businesses,” said Councilman Wendell Young. “They will not only create jobs but they will make the area more desirable.” Revitalizing this part of Walnut Hills could save the Kroger grocery store there, which the city worries eventually will close, Councilman Christopher Smitherman said.
