The Ohio City Incorporated board, made up of residents and neighborhood stakeholders, guides the work done at Ohio City Incorporated.

resident-elected leadership

Ohio City Incorporated (OCI) is proud to be a resident-driven organization. One of the most unique and empowering aspects of OCI is that a majority of our Board of Trustees is elected by residents of the Ohio City neighborhood. This means you have the opportunity not only to vote, but also to run, to shape the future of your community. Serving on the Ohio City Incorporated board allows residents to directly influence decisions related to community development, housing, small business support, equity, public space, and more. By electing local leaders who reflect the diversity and values of Ohio City, we ensure that our work remains grounded in the needs and priorities of those who call this neighborhood home.
