Stan Aronoff played a pivotal role in the revitalization of Cincinnati during his more than three decades in public office. He championed crucial legislation, secured state funding, and advocated for the interests of the Cincinnati region with governors. The Aronoff Center stands as his enduring legacy, reflecting his thirty-year dedication to the local arts community. Stan once said, “I want to be remembered for the good deeds, for some of the unnoticed constituent work we did. I want to be remembered for more than the bricks and mortar.
