Positive Development CEA salutes the recent release of the master plan for The Ohio State University area that has been developed by the group called Campus Partners. It can be a real plus for the Columbus Public Schools. We have ten school sites in the proposed development area. The plan calls for a complete overhaul and upgrading of the area. This will spawn a great deal of new business in the area and improve this part of the city as a place to live.
Education is a key part of any effort to improve the local economy.
Likewise, strong economic development improves the tax base of the school district. Jobs, development and schools all go together to improve the prospects of the community. Congratulations to everyone involved in Campus Partners. Now let,s all pitch in and swiftly get this redevelopment underway. 200th Anniversary 1997 is the 200th anniversary of Franklinton, the near west side forerunner of Columbus.
