Economic Development

Norwood Together wants to support equitable economic development that gives residents opportunities to stay in Norwood for business and recreation and grows the city as a destination in Greater Cincinnati. We are working toward this goal by: 

  • Encouraging maintenance of the city’s infrastructure through events such as Norwood Clean-Up Week, grant development, and advocacy for city reinvestment. 

“Norwood Together was instrumental in helping our start-up business understand the benefits of locating in their community and how we could get more involved with our neighbors. The organization assisted us with applying for grants that ultimately made it feasible to open, and continues to make our downtown great with events and programming.”

“Norwood Together has actively worked to make our small city a better place to both live and do business. Having cheerleaders for our Norwood community is wonderful, but having active "do-ers" like Norwood Together volunteering their time and energy to help improve the city is an immense asset.”

  • Convening small businesses. 

“Thank you so much for your connection in Norwood! We had a great conversation today, and I think we are both excited about coming to a mutually-beneficial plan. I cannot thank you enough for your help and support!”

“For many years, the City of Norwood lacked in-house development and land-use expertise and personnel. NT Board and membership includes people both familiar and passionate about using their knowledge to assist City administration in ensuring a path towards an attractive, orderly, and vibrant community for all. Their efforts in getting a CNU Legacy Grant Project is a recent example of the many endeavors they have successfully brought to fruition.”
