Uptown Cincinnati gas station demolished to make way for development

Crews tore down a former gas station to make way for new development along Reading Road. Battle Axe Construction workers demolished the former Marathon at the intersection of Reading Road and Martin Luther King Drive at 9 a.m. Wednesday. Development group Uptown Consortium purchased the property last month for about $2.3 million as part of the first phase of the Uptown Innovation Corridor’s growth.
