ACCOMPLISHMENTS
INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
On Tuesday, October 5, 1999 the Planning and Zoning department staff hosted 22 visitors
from China—residents of Guang Zhou (“Gwong Zho”), formerly named Canton, and Gui
Zhou (“Gway Zho”) - both are very dense cities of about 5 million people. Our guests were
experts in land management and development. They were interested in learning about US
land planning and the role of local government in land management, enforcement and
implementation of plans. Our interpreter was from Proctor & Gamble who has a
headquarters in Guang Zhou.
As a token of their appreciation they presented us with a Chinese scroll—a work of art—that was
presented to the Board of County Commissioners at their meeting on Wednesday, October 13, 1999.
RIVERFRONT ANALYSIS
In November of 1999, the Regional Planning Commission was asked to give input to the
Riverfront Advisors regarding their plan for the Cincinnati Riverfront.
LEADERSHIP
Executive Director, Ron Miller, provided leadership and external support services as
Chairman of the Cincinnati Area Geographic Information System Policy Board, President of
the County Planning Directors Association of Ohio and as a member of Cincinnatus and a
1999 graduate of Leadership Cincinnati
TRAINING
Two staff members of The Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission were
commended for their participation as instructors for the Training and Development Division of
the County. Together, Tim Horsley and Caroline Andrews instructed 10 FrontLine Leadership
sessions, reaching over 75 County employees from many organizations. Their work will have
an impact on each of those training participants and , in turn, on their organizations. By
making time to instruct, Tim and Caroline are helping our County’s employees become more
highly-skilled and professional.
