Mt. Washington Neighborhood Plan

 

Mt. Washington is updating their neighborhood plan! This plan will look broadly at the neighborhood's strengths and opportunities, and set a long-term vision for the community's physical, social, and economic development. It is important to us that we hear from as many people as possible throughout this process to create a collective vision for Mt. Washington's future!

The Mt. Washington Neighborhood Plan has officially kicked off!

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for the Kick-off Meeting! This was the first of many opportunities that community members will have to contribute your thoughts and ideas to help shape the vision of Mt. Washington's future. 

Preliminary Engagement Until March 31!

There are multiple ways to provide your input for the preliminary engagement phase of the plan, which will help shape the vision, goals, and strategies moving forward:

  1. ​Fill out the Preliminary Survey below on this website or pick up a printed survey at the Mt. Washington Rec Center, available starting Thursday, March 12. This is the best quick engagement opportunity; it takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
  2. Fill out the printed Preliminary Engagement Packet also available at the Mt. Washington Rec Center starting Thursday, March 12. This packet asks the same prompts as the boards from the Kick-off Meeting, so you can provide the same type of input. This is more in-depth input about a wider range of topics; it takes about 30 minutes to complete.
  3. Use the Miro Board below as a virtual option to engage with the Kick-off Meeting materials. This is the closest replica of the kick-off event. If you have any issues accessing the website, please contact Sophia Ferries-Rowe at sophia.ferries-rowe@cincinnati-oh.gov.
Option 1 - Preliminary Survey
