📣 We want to hear from you!

What does your community need to thrive? What opportunities should we build on? What would be on your community development “wish list”?

NKADD is bringing together residents, businesses, community organizations, local leaders, and other community partners for Community Forums in Boone, Campbell, and Kenton Counties this September.

These conversations are an opportunity to share what’s working, what’s needed, and what you would like to see for the future of your community. Your input will help NKADD and our local communities identify shared priorities and work together to strengthen Northern Kentucky.

📍 Choose the forum that works best for you and register using the QR code or link below:

Your community. Your ideas. Our shared future. Please share and help us bring more voices to the conversation!
