OHIO VACANT PROPERTIES FORUM:

CURRENT CHALLENGES, CRAFTING CHANGES

On October 24th and 25th, 2005, 265 people from throughout Ohio – residents, city, county, state, and national leaders, community development practitioners, and others – came together to share concerns of the vacant property issues in their communities and to work together to develop solutions to address them.

Almost half of those attending the forum have already expressed interest in being a part of the team to continue building an agenda for the state. Please contact Mary Helen Petrus at CNDC for more information: (216) 928-8100.
