Mission & Vision

Our Community

Uptown is located just north of downtown and the Consortium’s areas of focus include the Cincinnati neighborhoods of Avondale, Clifton, Corryville, Clifton Heights, Fairview, University Heights (CUF), and Mt. Auburn. Uptown’s population is just over 51,000 or about 15% of the Cincinnati population.

Our Mission

The Uptown Consortium is a non-profit 501(c)(3) community development corporation dedicated to the long term sustainability and improvement of Uptown Cincinnati. 

Our Vision

Uptown is Cincinnati’s dominant regional center of learning and healthcare infused with the energy of vibrant urban living and diverse neighborhoods.

Our Objectives

Unify Uptown’s culturally diverse Cincinnati neighborhoods and create a clear sense of place by focusing on initiatives for public safety, transportation, housing and home ownership, and economic development for neighborhood residents and stakeholders.

In Housing, create new and renovated housing and promote Uptown Cincinnati neighborhoods as vibrant communities of “first choice” where people of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds live, work, learn, and play together.

Promote Economic Development efforts through integrated strategies that address physical improvements to housing, infrastructure, and commercial areas increasing community economic assets, and creation and expansion of commercial, industrial, life sciences, healthcare and educational related services.

In Public Safety, ensure that Uptown is a safe, attractive and walkable community for its residents, employees, students and visitors, and is welcoming to all.

In Transportation, create a clear sense of direction, distinct place and better access to Cincinnati neighborhoods, retail shopping centers, and major institutions.
