Located between two new stadiums and a new museum, the Banks could become some of the most attractive properties in the area if Cincinnati's officials could raise enough money, or attract a cash-rich developer, to build eight parking garages that would anchor the plan.

While the city planned to use a half-cent sales tax to fund the project, revenue shortfalls have stranded the Banks once again.
