The plan is a result of a collaborative process among the city of Colum- bus, Franklin County, Franklin Township, Jackson Township, the Southwest Area Com- mission and the many interested citizens and stakeholders in the Southwest Area. The plan outlines a common vision for the future development of the Southwest Area that is a result of extensive community input and outreach to all of the area’s jurisdictions. The plan contains key recommendations in the areas of land use, parks and open spaces, economic development, urban design, transportation and regional coordination. The plan will be implemented cooperatively by the area’s jurisdictions and the Southwest Area Commission through the review of rezoning applications and the planning of future public improvements and initiatives. We would like to thank the Southwest Area Commission and the many community mem- bers who dedicated their time and resources to this planning process. It is their insight and determination that is directly responsible for the development of the plan and their leadership will continue to implement the plan’s recommendations.

    County secures $12M in sponsorships for Huntington Park Business First of Columbus - October 31, 2006 by Jeff Bell Business First Franklin County officials have landed another $12 million in corporate sponsorship commitments for the minor league baseball park they plan to build in the Arena District. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. and Dispatch Printing Co. each committed $6 million for sponsorships at the proposed Huntington Park, according to a press release from the county. In addition, Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman said the city will invest $9.3 million for utilities, roads and other infrastructure improvements at the ballpark site. The 10,000-seat, county-owned ballpark is slated for the northwest corner of Neil Avenue and Nationwide Boulevard. Franklin County Commissioners recently pushed back the expected opening date for the $55 million ballpark to 2009. Huntington Park will house the county-owned Columbus Clippers of the International League and replace Cooper Stadium, the team's 15,000-seat home on Columbus' west side. Nationwide will pay $6 million for naming rights to the new ballpark's concourse. Its development subsidiary, Nationwide Realty Investors, is also donating its services, estimated at more than $1 million, to act as the county's owner's representative during the design and construction phases. The Dispatch will pay $6 million for naming rights to the ballpark's scoreboard. Earlier this year, Huntington Bancshares Inc. locked up naming rights to the ballpark through a $12 million sponsorship deal with Stadium Inc., the county entity that will manage the ballpark. Stadium construction will be financed by the county, which will sell bonds to cover the cost.

  • Child Care Access in 2020
    Summer 2019 CHILD CARE ACCESS IN 2020: How will pending state mandates affect availability in Franklin County, Ohio? Abel J. Koury, Ph.D., Jamie O’Leary, MPA, Laura Justice, Ph.D., Jessica A.R. Logan, Ph.D., James Uanhoro INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE Child care provision is a critical service for children and their families, and it can also bolster the workforce and larger economy. For child care to truly be beneficial, however, it must be affordable, accessible, and high quality. A current state requirement regarding child care programming may have enormous implications for many of Ohio’s most vulnerable families who rely on funding for child care. Specifically, by 2020, any Ohio child care provider that accepts Publicly Funded Child Care (PFCC) subsidies must both apply to and receive entry into Ohio’s quality rating and improvement system – Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) (the “2020 mandate”). The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we aim to provide an in-depth examination of the availability of child care in Franklin County, Ohio, with a specific focus on PFCC-accepting programs, and explore how this landscape may change in July of 2020. Second, we aim to examine the locations of programs that are most at risk for losing child care sites, highlighting possible deserts through the use of mapping. Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy Improving children’s well-being through research, practice, and policy.1 2020 SUTQ Mandate: What is at stake? According to an analysis completed by Franklin County Jobs and Family Services (JFS), if the 2020 mandate went into effect today, over 21,000 young children would lose their care (Franklin County Jobs and Family Services, 2019).

    Square The Art of Walking Walking is a great way to keep your body at a healthy weight! Obesity and chronic disease has risen in the United States. We may be raising the first generation of children to live a shorter live span than their parents, in part due to obesity and obesity-related conditions. CapitOL Physical activity is important for good health. Physical activity can prevent or reduce obesity, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and some cancers. The US Surgeon General recommends 60 minutes of physical activity for children and 30 minutes for adults each day. The Columbus Art Walks Map is a unique way to get active while seeing great art, architecture and historical sites around Columbus. Walk Safe • Pedestrians (people walking) should walk on sidewalks or walk facing traffic. • Pedestrians should cross the street at traffic signals, crosswalks or at an intersection. • At an intersection with a pedestrian signal, cross the street when the signal shows “WALK” or a symbol of a walking person. Wait to walk if the sign shows or is flashing “DON’T WALK” or a symbol of an open hand. • You are less visible in the dark and when wearing dark clothing, so be extra careful! • The majority of the route is accessible and flat. DISCOVER MORE... Columbus Art Walks is an audio tour of Columbus.

The Short North: Then and Now On the first Saturday of every month, people from all over central Ohio flock to the Short North for Gallery Hop. This short stretch of High Street, located just north of the central downtown center of Columbus, is packed with restaurants, specialty shops, and art galleries. Music, talk, and laughter fill the air as people wander from site to site, enjoying the vibrancy and life of the area. People slip into the High Street businesses, examine the art and other knick- knacks, and maybe make a purchase or two. On beautiful spring days, downtown employees eat at the restaurants and walk up and down the High Street strip. In the summer, a group of resident oddballs have a parade of insanity through the neighborhood. In the residential neighborhoods of Victorian Village and Italian Village, located on opposite sides of High Street, there are dozens of construction projects, some recently completed, some major renovations in process, and others on the drawing board. The residents are some of the most educated and most tolerant in all of Columbus. Driving around the neighborhood, one can see all sorts of symbols of diversity: rainbow flags, American flags, Ohio State flags, and flags of the University of Michigan.
