Annual letter from the MLCC President, 2025 The new year brings new opportunities for Cincinnati and the Mt. Lookout neighborhood. With resident engagement, MLCC made great strides last year. We hope to continue the momentum advocating for our neighborhood, enhancing the Square, and bringing together community. Please find our president's yearly letter below.

Lookout MLCC members had the opportunity to sit down with Rep. Greg Landsman for a community conversation recently. The MLCC board invited several residents and local business owners to join the discussion, which included topics such as sewer/stormwater infrastructure, Mt. Lookout Square improvements, truck traffic and pedestrian/traffic safety, Connected Communities and city zoning, Ault Park safety, federal programs and resources, and more. Rep. Landsman discussed his congressional priorities around transparency, accountability, and bi-partisan cooperation. The conversation was a great opportunity for MLCC to share neighborhood priorities and needs with our elected congressional representative. We'll be following up with Rep. Landsman on a number of items and will share updates in the new year.
In
recent months the residents of Hyde Park have been engaging with a group
of developers with ambitious plans for Hyde Park Square's south side. See more details here.
The Hyde Park Neighborhood Council (HPNC) has voted and is opposing the
development with City Council and the City Planning Commission. MLCC supports the HPNC's position and actions. Due to the overwhelming opposition recent similar proposals in Mt. Lookout Square have elicited from our residents, the Board of the MLCC felt compelled to make an official statement to City Council, City Planning Commission, and others. Click the image for a PDF.
How can you provide your own feedback to the City on this matter? You can email each of the City addresses that the HPNC list on their website. You can also speak directly to the City representatives. There will be several meetings hosted by the City as part of the process to either approve or deny the zoning variances needed by the developers. Again, you can find more details on the HPNC website.
