October 2025 Newsletter

LWPC has continued its strategic planning efforts. This month, subcommittees finalized strategies to achieve each objective and identified the metrics that will be used to measure progress. With this phase complete, the final strategic plan is ready to be shared. Designed to remain responsive to the evolving needs of the City of Cincinnati, the plan will serve as a living document available for review at any time. Quarterly reviews will be conducted to ensure strategies stay on track and that metrics continue to reflect our goals and intentions.

Thank you to everyone who was a part of this process!
