OKI Land Use Commission
The Commission on Land Use was provided for in OKI’s Year 2010 Regional
Transportation Plan. Its main task is to identify linkages between land use
and transportation, and develop a transportation-sensitive regional land use
plan. The 2010 Plan was attempting to address the federal guidelines in the
transportation planning process. One of those factors is the effects of
transportation policy on land use and development.
OKI’s Board of Trustees recognized that the land use - transportation
connection is very complex, involving such issues as natural resources,
economic development, water and sewer infrastructure, social issues and
fiscal policies. Because of that complexity, the Board of Trustees elected
to sit as the land use commission.
The OKI Land Use Commission outlined a process that will present the big
picture of where this region is today, where the region wants to be at some
future date, and how to get there - a strategic approach.

State of the Community United Way Indicators Project
The United Way’s State of the Community is a report on the Socio-Economic
Health of the Greater Cincinnati Region. Solving the region’s problems and
building on strengths is enhanced through a mechanism that identifies key
indicators of the region’s social and economic health and tracks those
indicators over many years. This is an ongoing project through which change
is measured in the region’s well-being by a set of 26 high-quality, valid
and reliable indicators. This process will determine whether the quality of
life in the region is improving or not – and whether strategic interventions
are making a difference. The report concludes that our region is
particularly strong compared to national averages in the following areas:
percent of college-age persons attending college; percent of area residents
with a Bachelor’s Degree or Higher; per capita income; unemployment rate;
percent of population in poverty; housing affordability ratio; commuting
time; murder rate and; voting. The region fairs worse than the national
average on the following: infant mortality rate; percent of adults smoking;
obesity; percent of job gain or loss; percent of workforce 20-35 years old;
residential segregation and; non-violent crime.

Sustainable Cincinnati Regional Indicators Project
Sustainable Cincinnati was born of the belief that the 8-county, tri-state
metropolitan region can become a sustainable community by paying attention
to where we are now and holding one another accountable for our future. The
Indicators Project is rooted in the concept of sustainable community –
recognizing the interdependence of the environment, economic development,
and social equity. We want to support a decision-making climate that invests
in what is good for today without compromising the future for our children,
a climate that benefits each person and the common good.

Greater Ohio
Greater Ohio is the citizens' network promoting — through research, public
education and grassroots advocacy — public policy to grow our economy and
improve our quality of life through intelligent land use. To this end,
Greater Ohio will work to support redevelopment of existing communities,
strengthen regional cooperation and protect the countryside and Ohio’s
natural resources.

Citizens for Civic Renewal – Cincinnati Metropatterns
The Cincinnati Metropatterns Report, commissioned by Mryon Orfield and
released in October of 2001, identified three key trends that faced the
Cincinnati Region: social separation; urban sprawl, and fiscal disparities.
The concentrated poverty in the urban core reveals some of the most
pronounced patterns of separation by race and income in the nation which
affects the entire region. The sprawling nature of the region increases the
financial pressure on newer, outer-ring communities to keep up with the
costs of growth plus contributes to additional congestion on roadways and
threatens air and water quality. Fiscal disparities further exasperate the
problems in the older inner-cities and struggling first suburbs.

Mill Creek Watershed Council
The Mill Creek Watershed Council is a publicly funded, non-profit
corporation representing all 37 political jurisdictions in the Mill Creek
watershed. The Council acts as a forum for making watershed-based decisions
by convening and coordinating meetings and projects related to the
improvement of the Mill Creek. Through these forums, the Council invites
public input on watershed-related issues. The full council meets quarterly
at locations throughout the watershed and creates a quarterly newsletter,
Voice of the Mill Creek, that is mailed to approximately 1400 addresses
throughout the watershed.
