Work on developing Columbus’ downtown riverfront district is ongoing. Heather Pope, the city’s redevelopment director, says that one method for gathering public information is already in the books. She explained that a public survey offered on the city’s website, as well as via mail, was recently completed.
Next comes more work by the city’s consulting firm.
Pope says that whatever is ultimately approved will have to take the limitations of the site into consideration.
Pope says that information will then be forwarded to the Riverfront Steering Committee, then the Community Committee.
City officials stress that no one suggestion is being considered at this time. They say it is all about gathering the information to determine the best use for the area that will benefit the community.
