GOPC is a strong advocate for active transportation & investment in infrastructure to ensure safe travel for all mode users. This week, our #GOPCThread will kick-off a new initiative where we will share good infrastructure ideas we find locally, nationally & internationally
We are doing this as a way to promote the type of investments we think #Ohio and its communities should be making now in order to prepare for the future #GOPCThread
Pedestrian deaths spiked in the US during the height of the pandemic. While a lot of factors likely contributed to these higher rates, one thing is certain: promoting safe accommodation of all users should be key for future infrastructure planning nytimes.com/2022/02/14/us/…
Today’s #GOPCThread discusses #The614forLinden & the success the 11+ member collaborative has had in implementing @ColumbusGov‘s #OneLinden Plan. GOPC has been helping evaluate its impacts in the neighborhood over 3 years. Check out our report from Year 2: bit.ly/3HObbWo
#The614forLinden, led by @OCCHstrong’s Ohio Capital Finance Corporation, received a $5M grant from @jpmorgan’s PRO Neighborhoods competition in 2019. Its other CDFI partners include Affordable Housing Trust for Columbus & Franklin County, @FinanceFund, & @ECDIoh#GOPCThread
This month’s #GOPCThread is dedicated to the City of Ironton, established in 1849, & county seat of Lawrence County. Ironton is in Ohio’s Appalachian region along the Ohio River; its population is over 11K: #OHCommunitySpotlightirontonohio.org
Part of Wayne National Forest is in Ironton. The forest’s Ironton Ranger District is located in Lawrence, Scioto, Gallia, & Jackson counties; it spans 107,090 acres. It offers camping, cabins, horse riding, OHV riding, water activities, & more. #GOPCThread#OHCommunitySpotlight
Like a number of river towns, Ironton is part of a multi-state metro, with residents working, shopping, and playing in Kentucky and West Virginia. #GOPCThread#OHCommunitySpotlight
Following on the second most exciting news in Ohio (@Bengals#WhoDey#RuleTheJungle) we’re using this week’s #GOPCThread to look closer at the land use implications of the recent #IntelOhio announcement.
On Jan 21, 2022, @GovMikeDeWine + @Intel officially announced the chip manufacturer would build at least 2 semi-conductor chip factories in New Albany, a suburb 25 minutes north east of downtown #Columbus.
The facilities will be built on undeveloped land, contiguous to the current New Albany International Business Park. The city has annexed much of the land from Jersey Township in Licking Co. (map courtesy of #NewAlbanyInternationalBusinessPark)
This week's #GOPCThread provides a summary of what our staff learned & observed from participating in the 2022 #EquitySummit hosted by our friends at @SmartGrowthUSA
.@majoracarter grew up during the “Burning Bronx” & started working in community development to show people you don’t have to leave your neighborhood to have a better community. She worked w/her neighborhood to open a Hip Hop café, @BoogieDownGrind#GOPCThread#SmartGrowthEquity
This week's #GOPCThread examines potential infrastructure projects #Ohio could invest in as part of the record, one-time funding the state will receive as part of the recently enacted federal infrastructure bill, or #IIJA
The historic infrastructure bill provides more than $500B in new spending on everything from broadband internet infrastructure to roads & bridges. The other $700B is a continuation of funding programs & priorities established in the 2015 FAST Act greaterohio.org/blog/2021/11/8…
#Ohio is slated to receive nearly $13 billion in funding under the #IIJA (8th among all states). While not all allocations are currently available, we do know some of the funding allotments #Ohio will receive
