Choice Neighborhoods team fleshes out improvement strategies

The Choice Neighborhoods team recently convened at the John F. Kennedy Apartments to solidify a range of community improvement strategies for the Steubenville North Choice Neighborhood Plan grant application. Coordinating committee members brainstormed more than a dozen strategies, emphasizing local engagement and development. This initiative is a collaborative effort involving the city of Steubenville and the Jefferson Metropolitan Housing Authority, reflecting a unified approach to community revitalization. The strategies discussed aim to tackle pressing issues in the area, from housing to public amenities, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for residents.

The meeting showcased the importance of input from local stakeholders in shaping effective solutions. As the team prepares to submit their grant application, they hope to secure funding that will be pivotal for implementing these strategies. This process is not only about securing financial support but also about fostering a sense of community ownership and involvement. Ultimately, this initiative represents a significant step toward improving conditions in Steubenville and creating a more vibrant neighborhood.
