Bond Hill Set for Revitalization with $6.5M in City Budget Proposal
Bond Hill, a historic Cincinnati neighborhood with deep community roots, is poised for a promising transformation. A proposed $6.5 million allocation in the city’s latest budget draft could spark a long-anticipated revitalization—energizing local residents, community leaders, and business owners alike.
The funding comes from a larger $7 million budget originally set aside for job creation at Mercy Health’s Bond Hill location. With those funds remaining unused, Mayor Aftab Pureval’s administration has recommended redirecting the money to breathe new life into the neighborhood.
“This is a major opportunity to invest in the people of Bond Hill,” said community advocates who have been working tirelessly to create a safer, more vibrant, and family-friendly environment. Residents have voiced a shared commitment to restoring the area’s identity by revitalizing vacant businesses, expanding on recent park redevelopment efforts, and reimagining public spaces for future generations.
The proposed investment offers a chance not only to improve infrastructure but also to reinforce the neighborhood’s strong sense of pride and unity. Bond Hill community leaders are emphasizing the importance of collaboration and transparency as the plans move forward.
“We’re excited—but more importantly, we’re ready,” one resident shared. “We want to be part of the process, and we want to make sure our voices help shape the future of our neighborhood.”
As the city council reviews Mayor Pureval’s budget recommendations, Bond Hill stands at the threshold of renewal. With the right support and community-driven vision, this neighborhood could become a shining example of equitable urban revitalization in Cincinnati.
