If historic preservation is important to you, now is your time.
Action Tank, in partnership with the Cincinnati Preservation Association and the Cincinnati Preservation Collective, is hosting a series of upcoming sessions next month. The goal: to ask citizens how to make historic preservation more visible and relevant to the average person. Historic buildings are everywhere – they re in everyone s neighborhoods. We want to make sure that people that are living in them experience those community benefits from these magnificent buildings, said Paul Muller, executive director of Cincinnati Preservation Association. We want to hear from as many voices as we can, Ioanna Paraskevopoulos, executive director and co-founder of Action Tank, told The Enquirer.

The inaugural class of City Council School graduated this weekend. The program from Action Tank, a local think tank, met virtually two to three times monthly since October.
Participant Natasha Mitchell plans to run for council and says the program has been life-changing for her. I don t think I could have went to a four year college and got out of that institution what I received from Action Tank City Council School, Mitchell said.
Fellow graduate Bill Frost is also running, and says he was amazed by the bipartisanship of the program. I think if you randomly picked nine people out of this class, and put them into city council spots right now, you d see a lot more collaboration than you ve ever seen in the last 20 years in the city, Frost said.
