LISC training shows how to reverse housing blight
A two-day training session will teach community developers, municipal staff, and funders the science and art of transforming a blighted neighborhood into a thriving residential market with an improved quality of life.
“Revitalization Planning and Implementation”, part of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) of Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky’s Capacity Building Academy training series, will be held November 20 and 21 at the Mayerson Academy in Corryville.
Led by Jeremey Newberg and Wendy K. Smith of Capital Access, Inc., the session will offer a foundation on the mechanics of revitalization and will provide a road map for developing the community, political, and financial support needed to make it happen.
Community developers, for-profit and non-profit developers, politicians and other local officials, and corporate and philanthropic leaders are encouraged to attend.
Admission is $35 per day, and registrations can be made through the Community Development Corporations of Greater Cincinnati.
The deadline for registration is November 16.
