The Steubenville North Choice Neighborhood Plan offers a detailed, phased strategy for reshaping the neighborhood through housing redevelopment and broader quality-of-life improvements. Built through extensive community engagement, the plan focuses on the future of John F. Kennedy Apartments and Elmer White Family Units, where 206 low-income housing units are slated for redevelopment or renovation as part of a larger mixed-income vision.

The Plan is organized around six guiding ideas, heritage, collaboration, rejuvenation, opportunity, care, and action, which give it a distinct framework for neighborhood change. Its housing strategy is ambitious, calling for 523 total units, including 309 new rental units, 149 renovated apartments in the JFK Building, and 64 homeownership units. With a mix of senior housing, townhomes, and walk-up apartments, the plan pairs design diversity with sustainability and accessibility to support long-term neighborhood renewal.
