Often a CIC is established to revitalize a particular area of a community as it allows community leaders to create a separate entity to monitor revitalization efforts. A CIC has the ability to sell and acquire properties, allowing it to act as a private corporation within the public sector realm. Additionally, a CIC can borrow money and acquire, sell or lease personal property, stocks, corporations, and other investment options. Another key aspect of a CIC, though often only used in more moderately distressed areas, is its ability to make loans to businesses and individuals that have been refused financing through traditional lending sources. A CIC must develop a revitalization plan for the proposed area. Its own board of directors governs it. At this writing, the CIC of Greater Cincinnati is primarily involved in approving applications for conduit bond financing. It has not adopted a comprehensive position regarding underutilized commercial (greyfield) properties in First Suburbs communities. Hypothetically, the CIC has the ability to become actively involved in acquisition financing, purchase options, and site assembly, as a lender or as investor. This initiative will require extensive analysis, a structured project select approach, and extensive discussion. Finally, any initiative depends upon a clear mandate from the Hamilton County Commissioners. Contact: The Community Improvement Corporation of Greater Cincinnati Attn: Barry I.

This would be accomplished through:
HCDC has conducted a formal business retention program for the past eight years. Calls have ranged from 50-75 calls per year, utilizing current staff. In addition, some community officials in Hamilton County conduct business retention visitations to varying degrees. However, there is currently no coordination between communities and economic development officials to ensure consistency, avoid overlap, and address impediments to growth identified in these meetings. HCDC continues to enhance its business retention efforts through the following:
