Membership in
CHCURC is an important, meaningful way for you to make a
difference in your neighborhood. CHCURC is the oldest redevelopment
corporation in Cincinnati and since 1975 we have worked to improve the
quality of life and business climate in College Hill. CHCURC is a
not-for-profit organization staffed by volunteers. So every dollar from
your membership dues or contributions goes toward funding our various
projects.
CHCURC currently has about 200
members and we would love to have many more. Please consider joining at
either of the two membership levels, or making additional contributions
of time or resources to our organization. Help us in Building the Hill!

Who we Are
College Hill Community Urban
Redevelopment
Corporation (CHCURC) is a not-for-profit group dedicated to
improving the economy, physical appearance, and quality of life for all
residents of College Hill. Membership in CHCURC is open to any resident
or organization in the neighborhood. A Board of Trustees elected from
the membership administers CHCURC's operations.
CHCURC over the years has completed many community improvement
projects, and many more exciting plans are in the works. A
comprehensive streetscape redesign and improvement along Hamilton
Avenue is due to begin construction in 2004. This together with our
recently approved grant application for gateway improvements to College
Hill's business district are key elements to implementing our 1999
Strategic Urban Design Plan.
Recently, CHCURC completed a strategic planning process and visioning
exercise for the future of the community. Our adopted Vision for the
Future states that:
College Hill is the 'in'
place to be. We
are a diverse community where folks of all kinds are involved in the
life of the community. We are known throughout the region as the place
to go for entertainment, arts, and shopping. People move here to stay
because it's a charming, attractive, and safe neighborhood with good
schools and rising property values.
CHCURC's primary goals for the next several years are:
- To complete the Hamilton Avenue streetscape
project by December 31, 2004
- To have all three vacant corners of
Hamilton Avenue and North Bend Road occupied with businesses or
organizations that add value to the neighborhood
- To have a clean, safe, attractive, and
thriving business district by 2009
- To have clean, safe, and attractive housing
throughout the neighborhood by 2009
To accomplish
these goals, CHCURC relies on the
expertise and commitment of its Board and Membership. CHCURC also works
closely with allied organizations in the neighborhood including College
Hill Gardeners, the College Hill Forum, the College Hill Business
Association, and the College Hill Summit.
