Norwood is betting that intentional neighboring and empowering people to work together — on everything from park clean-ups to economic development — will steer the city toward a brighter future.
Residents feel good about their chances. They have already created a 10-year plan for the city.
The Norwood Community Agreement, unveiled in February, lays out a framework around the common vision that emerged from more than a year’s worth of community interviews and meetings. Supported by LISC of Greater Cincinnati, residents volunteered more than 800 hours to identify key issues and opportunities, brainstorm and plan strategic projects, and prioritize the work necessary to achieve their vision.
