ABOUT
About the Plan
The City of Columbus has partnered with Sasaki to develop an updated downtown strategic development plan that recognizes the recent history of redevelopment, incorporates current initiatives, and provides a clear, comprehensive strategy for continued advancement. Envision Columbus, the most recent strategic plan, was completed in 2018. Some solutions provided were implemented, but many were affected by the pandemic. Columbus Downtown 2030 has a smaller footprint but includes more available buildings and spaces for consideration and will reflect a post-pandemic landscape.
This plan will:
Express a compelling, aspirational vision, which can be benchmarked or achieved within 5-10 years.
Identify near-term recommendations for immediate execution that align with long-term benchmarking and goals.
Be rooted in the economic potential of the Columbus community.
Recognize the unique nature of the City of Columbus and its legacy and future.
Be actionable.
Include feedback from members of all available community demographics and key stakeholders.
These key questions will guide outcomes from an updated downtown strategic development plan:
How do we build a downtown where people want to be?
How do we maximize the use of the spaces and places downtown?
What gaps do we have downtown, and how do we address those gaps?
