Madisonville Neighborhood Plan

What and Why

A neighborhood plan is a legal document adopted by City Council that sets the vision, aspirations, goals, and strategies for the long-term physical, social, and economic development of a neighborhood. They are important for addressing the concerns of the community, paving a path forward for future goals and growth, guiding future development, setting budget priorities, and allocating public funds.

The Department of City Planning and Engagement works with the neighborhoods of Cincinnati to develop and produce these plans. Neighborhoods can request a neighborhood plan through the Community Budget Request process, which is administered by the Office of Budget and Evaluation and Invest in Neighborhoods.
