Hamilton County commissioner outlines grants, 911/EMA retrofit and partnership opportunities for Mount Healthy
Summary
Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Treehouse visited council to promote county partnership programs, including revitalization, façade and events grants, a 911/EMA facility retrofit and a Bond Hill site project; she encouraged Mount Healthy to apply for funds and highlighted county support for workforce and public services.
Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Treehouse briefed Mount Healthy city council on Sept. 17 about county partnership opportunities for small cities, an emergency‑services facility retrofit and other county initiatives that affect local services.
Treehouse said the county offers several competitive programs such as revitalization grants (a multi‑jurisdictional pool she described as a little over $1,000,000 in total for catalytic projects), façade grants and small events grants. She highlighted a 2021 public Wi‑Fi grant to Mount Healthy of $150,000 and said the county has provided multiple recycling and façade grants to the city in recent years.
On emergency services, Treehouse described plans to retrofit an existing building in Springdale to relocate 911 and EMA operations, citing workforce retention and improved facilities as motivations. She also described a new satellite county site planned for Forest Park to improve access to services outside the urban core and mentioned use of proceeds from a Bond Hill building sale to fund consolidation and relocation of county services.
Treehouse urged local officials to apply for competitive grants and to use county resources to support local economic development and public services. "We are trying very hard as a county to work in partnership with all 49 jurisdictions in the county," she said, summarizing the outreach.
What’s next: Commissioners provided printed materials listing county programs and contact information; councilmembers thanked the commissioner and encouraged staff to pursue available grant opportunities and follow any upcoming county grant timelines.
