How Cincinnati residents are making environmental changes in their own neighborhoods

Avondale is the latest Cincinnati community to be the focus of environmental justice. The nonprofit Groundwork Ohio River Valley
is forming a climate advisory group there to clean up the air and find ways to get more green space and reduce flooding.

It's part of an EPA grant that already includes the Beekman Corridor. WVXU's Nick Swartsell reported on it in 2022. He says, "About $200,000 of the $482,000 grant will go directly to paying participants in North Fairmount, South Cumminsville, Millvale, Roselawn, Bond Hill and other neighborhoods. Participants will also include members of Groundwork's youth jobs program. The rest of the funds will be used to purchase equipment and provide training on how to use it."
