🚂 Cincinnati's $1.6 billion railway sale fund gets a digital makeover. The Cincinnati Southern Railway Trust has launched a revamped website (thecsrt.org) providing transparent access to financial information about the investment fund created from the 2023 railway sale. The site now displays monthly updates on the portfolio's value, which has grown to over $1.7 billion, representing a 7.5% increase over the past year. Visitors can access meeting schedules, financial reports, and information about how the city is spending the revenue, which by law can only fund existing infrastructure maintenance or replacement. The Board of Trustees manages the investments while City Council makes all spending decisions, with $56 million allocated for fiscal year 2026.
