The Zanesville Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) is overseen by an independent board consisting of city officials and members of the public as the city’s nonprofit development arm. The CIC has piloted a residential renovation program, seeded with city demolition funds, that is self-sustaining, cost-effective, and adaptable. Rehabilitating tax-foreclosed homes has allowed the city to preserve its housing stock and revitalize its inner-city neighborhoods.
