Inside 43215: Downtown Draw
Who’s a sucker for successories? Those zippy mottos are embarrassingly moving, especially this one: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
It’s time. We’re great at talking about improvements for Downtown; and the opportunity has arrived to put life in those words.
The city of Columbus celebrates its bicentennial birthday in the year 2012. City leaders are aiming to make ‘12 the beginning of the city’s renaissance. They want to make Columbus the best place to work, live and raise a family in the United States; downtown development is the keystone to these goals.
In preparation for the birthday, the 2012 Bicentennial Citizen Summit will take place on Tuesday, January 29 in the Columbus Convention Center. The meeting is the next step in making all those downtown dreams reality (that means enhancing the riverfront, renovating City Center and promoting progressive transportation, to name a few). The summit is the public meeting that shapes the city’s projects, programs and funding priorities for the upcoming years.
Everyone is invited to the 2012 Bicentennial Citizen Summit, but an RSVP is required. The first big step in making a difference isn’t a big step at all, just sign up to attend at http://www.columbus.gov/columbus2012/.
