The Lincoln Heights Community Improvement Corporation has changed its name to the NuZone Community Improvement Corporation (NCIC), but will continue to build on its six years of economic development success.
Development has not come easy to Lincoln Heights, but the NCIC is responsible for many recent successes:
* Recruiting four new businesses, creating 50 jobs
* Cleanup of a brownfield site in the Anthony Wayne Industrial Park for redevelopment
* Site acquisition for the new Lincoln Heights Elementary School
* The construction of the Jackson Homes Project, seven new single-family homes in the Martin Luther King Estates subdivision
* Land banking of multiple tax-delinquent and abandoned properties
* An environmental assessment of all commercially-developable property in the village
The name change signifies their bold goals to reach out beyond just the village boundaries.
NCIC has partnered with Business Management Services, LLC to provide support, fiscal management and land development services to churches and other non-profit organizations in the counties of Hamilton, Butler, Clermont and Warren.
The new partnership will assist in guiding an economic development project from site acquisition, feasibility studies, and financing all the way through construction and completion.
Albert Kanters, executive director of NCIC, says that the group will continue to pursue economic development projects in Lincoln Heights.
