They should have the opportunity to discover and realize their full potential — not only for their sake, but for the strength of our communities and the future prosperity of our nation. Yet in the United States, 30 million children live in low-income families,1 even though the economy has improved over the past several years. For them, especially youth of color, the daily stresses of poverty push that dream further and further out of reach. Despite valiant efforts from local programs and providers to offer support, isolated approaches have kept many families from breaking the cycle of poverty and building a better life for

The project, entitled “Mapping the Food Environment,” is funded by OSU’s Food Innovation Center, and is led by the Food Mapping Team, an interdisciplinary team of researchers and community partners. As part of the research effort, the team is administering a survey to residents of certain ZIP Codes in central Columbus, covering the neighborhoods of Milo-Grogan, Weinland Park, Victorian Village, Italian Village, Downtown, Franklinton and the Near East Side during the first phase of data collection. The survey is offered in-person during select hours at several public locations in the study area, and can also be taken online at: go.osu.edu/FoodSurvey. The survey, which takes about 20 minutes to complete, includes questions about where people get their food, what kinds of foods they buy, and whether they experience food insecurity. Survey participants are eligible to enter a raffle for prizes including grocery giftcards and Apple iPad Minis. The results will be used to conduct a detailed spatial analysis of the “food environment” of Columbus, and to understand how the food environment varies across these neighborhoods.

Currently, their 230+ parks, 29 recreation centers, 7 outdoor pools, athletic complexes, golf courses and a trail system that provide opportunities for all of our residents to lead a healthy life. In the coming months, the department will offer even more possibilities for Central Ohioans to improve their quality of life while making a positive economic impact on the city. This spring, the department is anticipating the reopening of Douglas, Glenwood and Driving Park Recreation Centers that were closed for renovations. In the summer, Driving Park will unveil a new 8,500 square foot swimming pool and will continue to add to the Central Ohio Greenways Columbus City Council trail for Columbus biking enthusiasts. Later in the year, the department Zachary M. Klein, President anticipates their new Greg S. Lashutka Event Center to open giving Elizabeth C.

  • City of Columbus Secures Court Order to Shut Down Short North Carryout
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday, July 13, 2018 Contact: Meredith Tucker, 614.965.0203 Email: [email protected] City of Columbus Secures Court Order to Shut Down Short North Carryout ‘High Five Spice Emporium’ to immediately stop selling alcohol, must cease all operations today after judge issues order COLUMBUS, OH— Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein announced today that the City of Columbus secured a court order to vacate and shutter the High Five Spice Emporium, a carryout store that has plagued the Short North with violence and crime for years. It is the seventh business City Attorney Klein has closed down due to unlawful and irresponsible business practices since he took office in January. The property will be boarded up today at 12:00 p.m. The Franklin County Environmental Court issued the order after the City Attorney’s office filed a complaint for preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against the establishment that, according to officer testimony, accounted for as many as one-third of all police runs in a precinct that encompasses several neighborhoods, including Weinland Park, the University District, Harrison West, Italian Village, Victorian Village and Fifth-by-Northwest. The order, stating that the City of Columbus “has established by clear and convincing evidence that the [High Five Spice Emporium] presents a threat of irreparable harm to the community due to the history of alcohol violations and acts of violence,” requires the carryout to immediately stop selling alcohol and declares that the premises shall be boarded up today, Friday, July 13, 2018 at 12:00 p.m. “This is now the seventh business we have shut down since January for operating unlawfully and irresponsibly and hopefully it sends a message to others to clean up their act,” said Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein.
