Bold Goals for the Greater Cincinnati Region

The Bold Goals represent the foundation on which we can more readily achieve our vision for a stronger community with a high quality of life for all. We've joined forces with Agenda 360 and Vision 2015 in shared oversight of the work. It's about the community coming together to achieve specific, measurable results in the areas of EDUCATION, INCOME and HEALTH.
