Program Overview
The Community Revitalization Grant program is a new resource for Hamilton County cities, villages, and townships to carry out a wide variety of economic development projects. The program will be flexible and work with applicants to bring stalled or out of reach projects to completion. Applications are due May 5, 2023 by 5:00 p.m.
- An emphasis will be placed on large and impactful projects, but funding may be awarded to a wide variety of community-prioritized projects.
- Preference will be given to projects with a direct link to job creation and/or retention, but funding can also be awarded for projects indirectly linked to job creation and/or retention and overall community revitalization efforts.
- Applicants should focus on projects involving real and immediate benefits. Funds will not be awarded for studies or similar efforts unless it is included in the scope of a construction or job creation project.
- Projects located throughout Hamilton County are eligible, but the intention will be to award funds to projects and communities with financial need and a lack of alternative resources.
- While prioritizing project and community financial need, consideration will also be given to projects involving partnerships and financial commitment from the applicant and/or partners.
- All awarded projects must be completed with funds spent within two years of award. Hamilton County may grant an extension at its sole discretion.
