On Friday, March 31, 2000, Margaret Thatcher met with about 50 middle and high school students at Working In Neighborhoods' community center on Llewellyn Avenue in South Cumminsville. This visit was made possible by Fifth Third Bank and the John M. Ashbrook Center for Public Affairs at Ashland University. No subject was taboo, with the former prime minister answering questions about violence in Northern Ireland, bringing peace to Israel and the Palestinians, gun legislation, and school violence. Thatcher spread a message of hope, encouraging students to follow their dreams. "If you have a passion for something... Just follow that passion, work very hard and don't give up," said Thatcher. "You will find the marvelous people here willing to help. You will find someone willing to help." #WIN45 #45YearsOfWorkingInNeighborhoods #Throwback #MargaretThatcher

Today we celebrated the next phase of WIN's Near-Net-Zero Urban Village! Thank you to everyone who came out for the ribbon cutting and who has supported this project throughout the years. This 50-home project consists of 25 new construction net-zero homes to be sold to first-time homebuyers and 25 energy-efficient upgrades for current homeowners living in South Cumminsville. So far, 15 homes have undergone retrofitting and we're happy to say that construction is underway on two new homes in South Cumminsville. Overall, the Near-Net-Zero Urban Village project serves as a model for future sustainable development in other communities, demonstrating how cutting-edge technologies can be leveraged to benefit low-income families and create healthier, more stable neighborhoods.
