East Price Hill Improvement Association
The East Price Hill Improvement Association (EPHIA) is our neighborhood’s City of Cincinnati designated Community Council. Our objective is the encouragement and promotion of the civic advancement of East Price Hill, all of Price Hill, and the West Side of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Through events, advocacy, and community-driven projects, we aim to build a safer, cleaner, and more connected community for all.
