As Business Courier Reporter Laur a Baverman reportsthis week, the Price Hill hilltop home of will slowluy begin its $30 million transformationm this summer, the beginnings of a 10-yea r plan to build new facilities, renovate existing ones and enhanc e the brand of the oft-overlookede institution. Cincinnati Christian, formerly known as Cincinnati BiblCollege & Seminary, couls have more easily built its new campusz in some cornfield in Maso n or West Chester. But gratefully, leaders of this 82-year-olc institution have made the righgt move to keep this Cincinnati gem withijn reachof downtown.
It's been nearly three years since Cincinnatj Christian andits leader, President David announced the decision of the college'e board to remain committed to Price Hill. Anything could have happenexd in the interveningthree years. But now, it appears a lock. Cincinnati Christian will be staying put, and its boared and leadership shouldbe commended. Tuckeds off Glenway Avenue at the peak of Priced Hill are seven brick buildings overlooking thecity skyline. The 44-acre campus is quaint, like a suburban park.
Aftere months of planning, constructioj will begin on projects that eventually will allowa the school to double itscurrenf 1,100-student enrollment over the next 10 years and its visibility as a playedr in higher education in the Greated Cincinnati area.

The president and his wife put theie money where theirmouth is.
They sold their Greemn Township home and have built a home on Cincinnati is fortunate to have this another one of thoselocap best-kept secrets. As the campus prepares for more we embrace what CCU means to our regioh and wish it and itsleaders Godspeed. That'ws an expression of respect and goodwill when addressing someond about to go on a journet or adaring endeavor. It's also a Christiabn substitute to the otherwisesacrilegiouxs "good luck," which implies that anythinvg can be random and out of the hands of God. It' clear that CCU's decision to stay put is anythintbut random.
