At the direction of Mayor Aftab and under the guidance of an appointed Steering Committee, led by Councilperson Meeka Owens, the 2023 GCP is the culmination of an extensive community engagement process with over 1,600 in-person attendees at over 40 community meetings, and more than 3,000 ideas presented. The resulting 2023 GCP is a comprehensive set of 30 goals, 40 strategies and 130 actions across eight Focus Areas to advance the sustainability, equity, and resilience of our city.
Thank you to many of you who have been integrally involved throughout - building as well as implementing the Green Cincinnati Plan is truly a community-wide effort.
