VERTICAL
COMPREHENSIVENESS
Addressing a range of inter-connected issues within a focused geographic area
(i.e. a corridor, block or development site)
PHW works across coordinated layers so physical projects, programs, and civic power reinforce one another. The vertical model makes deliberate connections between long-term investment and everyday supports so change is durable and resident-led.
Lower Price Hill’s State Avenue corridor is the neighborhood’s commercial backbone, and recent Resurgency Plan work shows how targeted investments can re-energize local commerce. PHW’s role is to steward commercial renewal and support small businesses while coordinating with LPH’s resident groups and local anchors to ensure gains are broadly shared. Success here stabilizes ground-floor retail and connects residents to jobs, services, and transit.
Lower Price Hill
State Avenue Resurgence
Upper State Avenue — Emerging natural growth area with opportunity for small-scale retail and housing.
Lower State Avenue — the Anchor commercial corridor and PHW’s LPH focus.
East Price Hill
Cultural and Development Hub
East Price Hill is anchored by the Warsaw Avenue Creative Campus (WACC) and ARCO, which combine arts, housing, and storefronts to create a neighborhood hub. Around WACC, several development opportunities including Kroger-area parcels, St. Lawrence Square, and the IDEA campus offer a chance to sequence development so culture, housing, and commerce advance together. PHW’s focus is coordination — ensuring institutions, programming, and real estate investments align with resident access and benefit.
Glenway / Kroger + St. Lawrence Square — Developmental pockets with institutional interest and multiple holdings.
Warsaw Ave (WACC district) — Anchor corridor centered on WACC and cultural assets.
IDEA campus — Emerging parcel cluster with large undeveloped lots.
West Price Hill
Merchants, Parks, and Momentum
West Price Hill is a largely residential neighborhood historically anchored by commercial clusters along Glenway Avenue and a set of civic and faith-based institutions that sustain daily life. Recent organizing among merchants along West 8th and the development of End of the Line Park create a strong platform for place activation and long-term corridor work. PHW’s role is to connect merchant capacity, park delivery, and targeted property stewardship so public space and commerce flourish together.
Prouts Corner — Developmental node along Glenway with civic institutions and parking assets.
End of the Line / West 8th — primary Anchor corridor; merchant energy + park work.
Seton / Elder corridor — Developmental, anchored by large institutions and transit/education anchors.
