What does it actually take to transform a vacant building into a thriving neighborhood? Erin Satzger, President & CEO of the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, sits down with Jason Woodard, Founder and Principal of Woodard Development, to talk about what drives intentional, community-centered real estate development across the Ohio region.

With over 20 years of experience and more than a half-billion dollars in real estate transactions, Jason has helped reshape downtown Dayton through projects like the Water Street District — turning underutilized spaces into mixed-use destinations that attract jobs, residents, and investment. In this conversation, Erin and Jason dig into the intersection of real estate, philanthropy, and economic development — and why the built environment matters more than most people think.
