Wolfe in biennial awards program COLUMBUS, OHIO (November 20, 2019) -- ULI Columbus is pleased to announce the honorees of the Awards for Excellence, the first and only program recognizing the individuals, real estate companies and developments shaping central Ohio. The ULI Columbus Visionary Award honors the late John F. Wolfe for innumerous contributions to the Columbus community. Wolfe is recognized for his significant positive impact on our region and the many achievements throughout his lifetime that exemplify the ULI mission and principles of creating and sustaining thriving communities. Former Mayor Michael B. Coleman presented the award to the Wolfe family at the awards ceremony. “John F. Wolfe was the quiet leader who was content to let others take the credit,” said ULI Columbus chairman Keith Myers. “He approached all community decisions with a north star guiding him, which was to consider the best interests in the long term for the city and those who live and work here.” ULI Columbus, a District Council of the national Urban Land Institute, recognizes three additional Awards for Excellence honorees for exemplifying the ULI mission and principles of creating and sustaining thriving communities: Excellence in Development Large Scale: Bridge Park Bridge Park, an entirely new neighborhood built on 30 acres along the Scioto River in Dublin, is more than just the keystone project of the city’s Bridge Street District—it is an example of how new urbanism can respond to changing demographics and lifestyles in suburban communities.

  • Gentrification in the Short North: from Run Down to Downtown
    Hansan 1 Gentrification in the Short North: From Run Down to Downtown A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with distinction in History in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by John Kent Hansan The Ohio State University June 2005 Project Advisor: Professor Steven Conn, Department of History Hansan 2 I. 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.

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.
