The Central Ohio River Business Association (CORBA) will celebrate its 10th anniversary September 16 with guest speakers and the unveiling of a plaque on the Newport Southbank Bridge.
The pedestrian bridge, commonly known as the Purple People Bridge, spans the Ohio River between Cincinnati, Ohio, and Newport, Ky.
“We hope to create a great event for all of our members and guests,” CORBA chairman Scott James said.
The event, from 3 to 6 p.m., will also include recognition of past chairmen Eric Thomas of Benchmark Terminals, Dave Hammond of Inland Marine, Rob Carlisle of C&B Marine and Jeff Stewart of Cincinnati Barge & Rail, each of whom served two years and helped CORBA grow along the way.
