Community Advisory Group At Winton Hills

Groundwork Ohio River Valley in partnership with Green Umbrella and the neighborhood of Winton Hills engaged in a neighborhood climate planning workshop through their Community Advisory Group (CAG) of Climate Safe Neighborhoods. The 5 week workshop helped the residents to learn more about climate impacts and developed a resiliency plan. The CAG members were compensated to create neighborhood-level plans based on the existing environmental and socio-economic data to justify projects necessary for the community including air quality degradation, storm water flooding, and industrial activity, among others. The community members were trained through workshops on climate factors, health impacts, climate mitigation, and adaptation plans. More information about the project can be found on the CSN Story map dashboard here.
