According to the Ohio Revised Code, community improvement corporations serve as economic development arms for the governmental body they serve. In that way, a CIC advances, encourages and promotes industrial, economic, commercial and civic development in a community.

CIC meetings are open to the public and take place at noon on the third Wednesday of each month in McIntosh Center on the ONU campus. The April meeting will take place on the second Wednesday.
