Link Ahead with the City of Dublin, Ohio
How Riverview Village Will Bring Entrepreneurial Flair, Historic Legacy and Family Fun

City of Dublin, Ohio
Step onto The Dublin Link and cross into a first-of-its kind neighborhood. Riverview Village — where historic homes, river views and a thriving startup scene come together in the heart of Historic Dublin. Lindsay and Bruce welcome COhatch CEO Matt Davis and Dublin Economic Development Director Jeremiah Gracia to unpack how a public-private partnership is transforming our western riverbank.
Walk the plan with us: restored houses reimagined as off-site retreats during the week, a gleaming new headquarters for COhatch, plus art strolls, kayaking and great food on the weekends. It’s all supported by $11 million in City infrastructure—streets, sidewalks, lighting, utilities and stormwater—that powers year-round activation and makes the district genuinely walkable. We explore why this model favors a thousand small companies over a single anchor tenant, and how that diversity strengthens local businesses, fills vacancies and keeps dollars circulating here at home.
Beyond buildings, Matt talks about bringing a magnetic culture to Riverview. Think entrepreneurial fairs, kid-led markets and local showcases designed to spark real connections. He shares how “engineering collisions” through intentional design — like one central coffee spot at COhatch — turn everyday hellos into mentors, customers and collaborators.
From city-building and adaptive reuse to co-working done right and how public-private partnerships reduce time, risk and money for everyone, this conversation is packed with insights.
