āØWeekly Weekend Roundup Spotlight:
During Thursday`s URA board meeting, funding was approved for several programs serving Hill District youth and families through the Greater Hill District Neighborhood Reinvestment Fund (GHDNRF), a community-driven fund created through the Lower Hill development`s Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance (LERTA) program.
The investments will support creative learning opportunities, STEM education, after-school programming, and workforce development initiatives led by local organizations including ACH Clear Pathways, The Citizens Science Lab, and Central Baptist Church. Approved grants include funding for ACH Clear Pathways` Creative Camp and Career Compass program, The Citizens Science Lab`s Pipeline Initiatives and Community Program project, and Central Baptist Church`s Resilient Futures After-School Program.
The Greater Hill District Neighborhood Reinvestment Fund was established to ensure that resources generated through the Lower Hill development are reinvested throughout the Greater Hill District. Guided by the Community Collaboration and Implementation Plan and recommendations from the GHDNRF Advisory Board, the fund supports projects that strengthen educational outcomes, workforce readiness, community development, and neighborhood well-being.
This latest round of funding continues our mission by investing in programs that help young people build skills, explore career pathways, and access opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. As development continues across the Hill, these investments represent another step toward ensuring that neighborhood growth is matched by investments in our futureāthe youth.

š§” Another successful food distribution!
