A 162-page bound publication reveals details about the new Envision Columbus downtown strategic development plan.
Rick Johnson, who leads the Envision Columbus steering committee, and Jeff Bergman, Columbus planning director, unveiled a copy of the final plan to the Columbus Redevelopment Commission Monday.
Led by DAVID RUBIN Land Collective of Philadelphia and initiated by the Heritage Fund — the Community Foundation of Bartholomew County, Envision Columbus provides a road map for the future of the commercial area of downtown Columbus, as well as nearby neighborhoods and parks.
The plan encompasses a geographical area bounded by farmland south of downtown to Donner Park to the north, and from Mill Race and Noblitt Parks on the west to California Street on the east.
Initial focal points of the plan include a potential hotel/conference center with performance venue opportunities downtown, an urban grocer, townhomes, neighborhood revitalization, among others.
