"Thriving neighborhood business districts will not only
provide a high quality of life for current residents -- they're also key to
attracting new residents," said Odis Jones, Economic Development Director.
"The NBDIP process reaffirms our commitment to strategically investing in
neighborhoods to grow the city.
Awarded annually, funds from the NBDIP can be used for a variety
of capital improvements and other uses to promote economic development in
officially recognized neighborhood business districts. The projects are
implemented in partnerships between City staff and community volunteers.
This funding is in addition to the Administration's recommendation
for the Focus 52 program, which will create a pool of $54 million for
neighborhood projects throughout the city.
Cincinnati City Council will make the final decisions when it sets
the Consolidated Plan and Capital Investment Program budgets for the 2013
fiscal year.
