The North Hill Community Development Corporation is pleased to announce the appointment of David Swirsky as Executive Director. This transition marks an important milestone as the organization continues advancing a shared vision for North Hill's future.

Under outgoing Executive Director Justin Chenault, North Hill CDC deepened its role as a neighborhood connector—bringing together public partners, philanthropy, and community leaders to advance creative placemaking, entrepreneurship, and inclusive development. Through public art, cultural programming, neighborhood markets, and park activations, North Hill has grown into a place where residents gather, entrepreneurs grow, and community identity is celebrated.

About David Swirsky

David has formal education in Urban Planning, Design & Development from Cleveland State University. His experience as a City Planner with AMATS, Board President/Project Manager of the West Hill Neighborhood Organization, and Grants & Donor Relations Specialist with Summit Metro Parks has built expertise across community engagement, project management, and fund development. Having worked in North Hill through various initiatives, he brings deep familiarity with the relationships that make community-driven development possible.

"I'm eager to deepen community partnerships, build on the visionary work of my predecessor, and help shape the next chapter of North Hill's shared vision." — David Swirsky, Executive Director

Looking Ahead

Redevelopment of 771 North Main Street remains a top priority — a mixed-use investment that will strengthen the North Main corridor, anchor the emerging Temple Square district, and expand opportunities for local microenterprises, affordable housing, and community connection. NHCDC and Akron Parks Collaborative are also working to establish Waters Park as a destination for recreation, cultural gatherings, and cross-generational connection. Arts and culture will remain central throughout, with NHCDC continuing to partner with artists and cultural organizations to celebrate North Hill's diversity through storytelling, performance, food, and shared public spaces.
