What is the Price
Hill Plan?
Planning
Process
Defining the Plan:
> 335
gave input at kickoff meeting,
community conversations, focus
groups, and with surveys
Setting Priorities:
> 350
help set priorities at workshop
and with surveys
Developing Recommendations:
7 volunteer Work Teams (WT)
met to develop recommendations
from July - November 2014
Feedback on Recommendations
and Prioritizing Goals:
> 250 via workshop, open
The Price Hill Plan is the product of thousands of hours
of volunteer work by dedicated community members.
It is informed by input from over 750 local residents.
This 9-month process brought together residents and
stakeholders of all three Price Hill neighborhoods to
identify strengths and define priorities for the continued
revitalization of Price Hill. Work teams created action
agendas around the seven priorities categorized most
urgent by respondents. This document contains the
results of their hard work. While the plan is complete,
the work has only just begun to see East, West and Lower
Price Hill realize their full potential as great Cincinnati
neighborhoods of choice.
7 Themes
Located on the western side of Cincinnati, just
north of the Ohio River, Price Hill is divided into
three neighborhoods: Lower Price Hill, East Price
Hill, and West Price Hill. A racially, ethnically,
and socioeconomically diverse cluster of
neighborhoods, Price Hill forms
a significant portion of the
land area and population of
Cincinnati. Each neighborhood
has its own community council,
distinct land use patterns, and
unique strengths and challenges.
