Acting as the city s historic preservation conscience, CLF works to educate the people of Columbus about the importance of our city s historic fabric. CLF often encourages developers and planners to find new uses for historic buildings. But we cannot do it alone. Real world solutions to issues of urban design and historic preservation require the support and cooperation of many individuals and organizations. We are proud of the variety of neighborhood, community, business and government groups that have worked with us through the years.
Legislation also plays a crucial role in our efforts.
CLF has been instrumental in securing the adoption of legislation to designate historic areas, control demolition and encourage reinvestment in our historic resources.
