  • A Letter from the Ceo
    A LETTER FROM THE CEO Dear Friends, On June 22 we honored our Patron Saint, Saint John Fisher, in two beautiful ways. First, an icon of Saint John Fisher was written and presented to Bishop Frederick F. Campbell, D.D., Ph.D. as a gift from The Catholic Foundation. The icon is on permanent display at The Catholic Foundation in the Bishop Campbell Library for you to view. We express our great appreciation to Bishop Campbell for his many years of support of The Catholic Foundation. Second, we installed the first 40 members of the new Saint John Fisher Stewards initiative. We are so grateful for these members of our parishes, schools, and ministries who have committed their time and talents to bring awareness to the endowments of their Catholic faith communities. It is in these two ways that we honor Saint John Fisher as a man of great faith and stewardship of endowments. I encourage you to visit The Catholic Foundation to view the Saint John Fisher icon and to learn more about our Patron Saint. We are in our thirty-fourth year at The Catholic Foundation and it is an honor to share the many opportunities for you to make an impact on the many needs throughout our diocese. Whether you are a parishioner, a tenured or young professional, or a Catholic woman who loves your faith, The Catholic Foundation has many options for you. As you read the annual report, please take note of the many people who have told their stories and shared their experiences. It is my hope you will find a common connection and see how you too can get involved in supporting our faith through The Catholic Foundation.

  • THE ARTS, GENTRIFICATION, and COLUMBUS, OHIO a Thesis
    THE ARTS, GENTRIFICATION, AND COLUMBUS, OHIO A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Drexel University by Allison R. Sweeney in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Arts Administration August 2014 ii DEDICATIONS Dedicated to Lynn and Jack Sweeney My biggest fans, my favorite people, my amazing parents iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are several individuals and organizations that must be acknowledged in contributing to the success of this thesis. Without these certain individuals and organizations, I would be absolutely be up stream without a paddle and left researching a topic that held no interest for me. I need to thank all of my extremely passionate interviews, especially Jim Sweeney (no relation to the author of this thesis) of the Franklinton Development Association. I have never met an individual with so much enthusiasm for what they do that they vividly speak of their craft outside of the office. It is this kind of passion that gives me hope for the future of Franklinton. For your endless vibrancy, attention to detail, and love of Franklinton, I thank you. I also must thank Betsy Pandora of the Short North Alliance, and Chris Sherman of 400 West Rich, Franklinton. You both harvest your craft and all the facets that go along with it in such a way that leaves you prone to nothing but success. I can only hope to learn as much as you both have in my future endeavors and hopeful career with the arts. I of course must also thank my other interviews who each contributed a wealth of information and experience that would otherwise been missing from this thesis: Joe Armeni, Esther Hall, Suzanne Accetta, Rex Brown, and Walker Evans.

  • 2013 Community Needs Assessment
    LLCHC Service Area Needs Assessment Final Report Lower Lights Christian Health Center Service Area Community Health Assessment Exploring Health Issues, Policies, Services and Citizen Involvement impacting residents of Franklinton, Ohio. Created: October 21, 2013 Board Reviewed & Approved: November 05, 2013 by Cornerstone Management Wheelersburg, OH LLCHC Service Area Needs Assessment INTRODUCTION Medicine and medical care come to mind when discussing health issues. However, there are several factors which directly impact a person’s health which are not medical in nature. These broad health status indicators deal with poverty, housing, education, environment and more. It is these underlying causes of disease that is the focus of this project. The health of the community concerns everyone. A healthy community is well equipped with active, productive, participating citizens who are free to use their energies toward the good of their employers, school systems, volunteer groups, and churches. The kind of community that successfully joins together for the common good is made up of clean neighborhoods of healthy families that support the mental and physical health of each individual. Few communities completely obtain this goal. Most are plagued to some degree by polluted streets, emotional health issues, excessive rates of preventable disease and death, increasing costs of medical care, and an overall decline in the quality of life. When citizens’ health is poor, productivity declines, employers are forced to deal with high rates of absenteeism, education suffers, and the pool of available volunteers decline. Prevention and early intervention are the keys to creating a healthy population living in healthy communities and so maximizing their ability to thrive.

  • The Cap at Union Station Columbus, Ohio
    The Cap at Union Station Columbus, Ohio Project Type: Commercial/Industrial Case No: C035010 Year: 2005 SUMMARY The Cap at Union Station is a $7.8 million retail development that reconnects downtown Columbus, Ohio, with the burgeoning Short North arts and entertainment district. Opened in October 2004, the project effectively heals part of a 40-year scar that was created by the construction of the city’s Interstate 670 (I-670) inner-belt highway. Composed of three separate bridges—one for through-traffic across the highway, and one on either side for the retail structures—the Cap provides 25,496 square feet (2,369 square meters) of leasable space, transforming the void caused by I-670 into a seamless urban streetscape with nine retail shops and restaurants. While other cities like Seattle and Kansas City have erected convention centers over urban highways, the I-670 Cap is one of the first speculative retail projects built over a highway in the United States.

  • Franklinton Innovates Smart Community Revitalization Campaign
    COLUMBUS IDEA FOUNDRY Franklinton Innovates Smart Community Revitalization Campaign For generations, Franklinton, the birthplace of Columbus, has stagnated. Decades of floods, urban flight, and physical isolation have left it the most economically challenged neighborhood in Columbus. The time and opportunity has finally come for “the Bottoms” to rise above its nickname. Today there is a flood wall in place, and with it new hope, vision, and determination. With new leadership, new infrastructure, and new ideas, the neighborhood has a chance not only to come back as a vibrant and contributing part of our city but to become a shining example of how to mobilize a smart local talent base for significant public good. The Franklinton Development Association (FDA), the neighborhood grassroots community development corporation, is leading the way in reimagining the mostly vacant eastern portion of community as a truly unique and affordable downtown neighborhood, attractive to both residents and businesses. Parallel to the rebirth of Franklinton, the Columbus Idea Foundry (CIF) has appeared on the Columbus scene. A savvy, innovative, arts, tech, and entrepreneurship organization, CIF presents the opportunity for a new kind of smart partnership with FDA. Relocating the CIF into an FDA-owned building will catalyze revitalization in Franklinton. It will draw similar-type companies, jobs and residents to the dormant development opportunities all around it. The Hodge Group 1 This partnership will have both immediate and long-term benefits for Franklinton. While the CIF opening its doors in Franklinton will bring an instant surge of interest and momentum for the critical early stages of revitalization, the unique financing structure of the project will ensure the long-term financial sustainability for FDA.

  • Inner City Differentiation: a Stage Structure and Change Analysis of Columbus Symbolic Neighborhoods
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Section 5 – Biology of the Lower Olentangy River Watershed
    Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed March 2002 / edited 2003 5. Biology of the Lower Olentangy River Watershed The Olentangy River watershed is part of the Teays-Old Ohio Freshwater Ecoregion (Abell, Olson, Dinerstein, et al., 2000). This freshwater ecoregion is considered to be globally outstanding because of the sheer numbers of aquatic species found within it: 206 native fish species, 122 unionid mussel species, 49 species of crayfish, and 60 native species of amphibians and aquatic reptiles. The great diversity of the biotas in rivers and streams in this region is the result of the diversity of upland and lowland habitats and the presence of both glaciated and unglaciated stream systems. Twelve percent of the fish, 14% of the mussels, 47% of crayfish, and 5% of the reptiles and amphibians are restricted to this ecoregion and found nowhere else. In pre-settlement times (prior to the 19th Century), the landscape across this ecoregion was heavily forested. However, much of the area has been extensively logged, often repeatedly, since the arrival of Europeans. Row-crop agriculture is the predominant land use across the region with well over 50% of the land cover altered from its original post-glacial nature. Streams throughout the area have also been significantly altered and currently face the entire litany of threats faced by stream systems in the 21st Century. These include impoundments, point source and non-point source pollution, excessive sedimentation, nutrient enrichment, hydromodification of the original stream channel and the associated flood plain, habitat loss, and urbanization. Aquatic Biotas in the Lower Olentangy Sub-basin Ohio EPA’s Division of Surface Water and ODNR’s Division of Natural Areas and Preserves Scenic River program both regularly use aquatic biotas as indicators of water quality in Ohio streams.
