Alley sale for Downtown child care center approved

Cincinnati City Council has unanimously approved the sale of two "paper" alleys Downtown for the construction of a new child care center.

Robin and Wichita alleys, both now part of a series of parking lots east of Broadway between New and Seventh streets, would be sold to abutting property owners Procter & Gamble and 417 E. Seventh Street, LLC for $103,000.

The sale will allow the property owners to assemble a site to build a 22,000-square-foot child care center that will serve up to 200 infants through pre-schoolers.

The new child care center, which is currently housed on the University of Cincinnati campus, is expected to employ 40.

Does this refer to schmidlapp or Arlitt? Will one of these centers close and reopen downtown?

On that I am not entirely clear. Schmidlapp just expanded a few years ago, and moving Arlitt doesn't seem to make sense either. Are there other centers being housed on campus?
