Business Districts Working Together for a Better Cincinnati
Proposed CDBG Budget Available
The Cincinnati Department of Community Development has revealed their proposed budget for use of funds from the Federal government. We've included a copy of it here. We also have an amendment and prepared comments for the public hearing.
2010 Improvement Program Schedule
Rating of proposals for the 2010 program are underway. A total of $2,000,000 is again available. For more information, please see this page. Raters can use this form (Excel spreadsheet) to rate the projects.
City Manager Responds
City Manager Milton Dohoney met with representatives from business districts on May 14 and heard concerns about delays in accomplishing improvement projects already funded by the City. He has taken a number of steps to address the issues. You can read his letter listing these measures here.
Membership Renewals Due
2009 membership dues are now due. Dues have been increased to $100. Membership entitles your district to rate projects submitted for the 2009/2010 funding cycle. The Neighborhood Business District Support Program starting January 1 will be $7000 per district, and that money can be used to pay your dues. Please provide both an email address and phone number for both your primary and alternate representatives. You may email to info@cnbdu.org. Please download (pdf) this letter for more information.
