Not to be confused with the OHNA, OHHIC, the Oregon Hill Home Improvement Council will be holding its first in-person, annual membership meeting in many years this coming Sunday, May 31, 2026 at 7:00 pm at the Pine St. Baptist Church. About 30 Oregon Hill residents have registered for OHHIC membership and will be allowed to vote on a new OHHIC board. Founded in 1976, the neighborhood non-profit organization will also be celebrating its 50th year anniversary at the meeting. OHHIC has renovated over 20 historic houses in Oregon Hill, selling them to first-time homeowners and placing preservation easements on the homes. Also, OHHIC sensitively built 17 quality new homes on vacant lots that are compatible with the Oregon Hill Historic District. OHHIC owns the historic Jacob House at 619 West Cary St. that was built in 1817.
