City Planning and Engagement

 

 Background

Camp Washington Urban Revitalization Corporation (CWURC), a community development organization focused on strengthening the Camp Washington neighborhood, is working to support balanced growth by promoting affordable housing, local business stability, and neighborhood improvements. They are currently involved in the potential acquisition of a group of properties along Burlington Place, Colerain Avenue, Henshaw Avenue, and Rachel Street, which include a mix of residential units, commercial spaces, parking lots, and vacant land. The purpose of this acquisition is to maintain local control of the properties and prevent displacement of existing residents and businesses, as no redevelopment plans have been finalized at this time. The developer has committed to preserving at least 10 affordable housing units within the portfolio while making future investments to improve building conditions and explore development opportunities on vacant parcels. The City has proposed up to $2.5 million in public funding, including support for affordable housing and capital improvements, to assist with acquisition and long-term neighborhood stabilization.
