I submitted a Neighborhood Improvement Project Proposal to Ohio City Near West Development Corporation. The CDC is hosting a neighborhood competition and I decided to advocate for a beautification project South of Lorain.
As an amateur urban planner with limited Photoshop skills, I'm not sure how well received my proposal will be. The OCNW board of directors will pick the top 3, and then the OCNW membership will vote on the winner during the annual meeting in April.
The funds for the project will come from fundraising revenue OCNW earns throughtout the year.
One of the reasons I chose to submit an idea is because many people don't consider my neighborhood to be part of Ohio City. In fact, my neighbors refer to Ohio City as the area to the North of them--they don't identify with that moniker.
My proposal is to commission a mural, painted rubbish cans and rain gardens created by the Building Bridges Mural Program's Summer Mural Institute.
