A
B
B
She
established
a
steering
committee
at
that
time
appointed
by
the
mayor.
The
co-chairs
were
fill'd
Tomlinson
and
Marquette
McKnight.
It
included
over
a
hundred
and
twenty-five
individuals,
many
organizations,
businesses
and
agencies
along
the
second
Avenue
corridor,
where
city
village
is
located.
There
was
an
introduction
process
into
what's
called
purpose-built
communities
which
will
be
discussed
with
the
mill
district
update
consultant
was
hired
back
in
2014
to
develop
a
master
plan
for
this
particular
area
of
the
community.
B
There
were
multiple
group
and
individual
stakeholders
meetings,
roundtable
discussions,
community
meetings
over
the
next
year,
or
so
after
2014
in
2016
those
results
and
that
master
plan
was
presented
to
Council
and
then
the
mill
district
really
has
picked
up
from
that
point
and
taking
it
just
another
step.
So
at
this
time,
I'll
have
Justin
Creek
come
forward.
He's
the
president
and
director
of
the
mill
district
and
just
to
give
you
an
update
on
all
the
progress
that
they've
made
and
really
where
we
came
from
from
back
in
2012
and.
A
A
I
believe
that
the
the
city
village
model
is
a
good
model
to
follow,
and
that's
why
I
had
the
deputy
city
manager
to
out
land
where
it
started
in
2012
and
how
it
got
started
and
who
appointed
the
the
committee
and
who
the
Vice
the
co-chairs
were
and
and
the
master
plan
came
forward,
was
adopted
by
this
group
in
2014,
the
city
village
project
came
along
after
the
Liberty
district
master
plan
and
I
wanted
to
shir.
The
model
of
the
of
the
city.
A
C
C
So
our
our
mission
with
the
mill
district
and
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
evolution
and
transition
from
city
village
to
the
mill
district,
say
village
is
one
define
neighborhood,
basically
between
the
total
systems,
campus
downtown
and
the
Johnston
mill
loft
project,
and
the
mill
district
has
expanded
that
that
project
area
to
include
four
total
neighborhoods,
so
that
the
area
that
you
see
highlighted
there
in
yellow
on
the
map
is
what
we,
what
has
historically
been
known
as
the
City
Village
neighborhood.
Second
Avenue,
essentially
runs
north
to
south
through
the
middle
of
those.
C
These
four
quadrants
at
the
very
top
left
is
Bibb
City,
which
most
people
are
familiar
with
on
the
top
right
at
sanderson
village,
which
is
around
the
Godwin
Creek
Golf
Course,
all
the
way
up
to
Manchester,
expressway
and
and
then
in
the
southeastern,
quadrant
and
blue,
is
what
we
call
the
North
Highland
neighborhood,
which
has
been
its
historic
name
for
for
years
and
years,
and
so
you
may
ask
where
the
middle
district
come
from.
Well,
the
stakeholders
from
the
city
village
plan
hung
in
there
and
tried
to
figure
out
how
do
we
implement
this
plan?
C
And,
and
so
we
basically
came
to
the
realization
that
we
could
build
some
nice
new,
shiny
things
in
and
along
the
river
just
north
of
the
tesis
campus.
But
if
we
were
ignoring
everything
that
was
around
it,
we
weren't
really
doing
the
most
good
for
the
surrounding
community,
because
the
area
is
east
of
2nd
Avenue
are
areas
that
I'm
sure
you
all
are
familiar
with
areas
of
disinvestment,
poverty,
etc,
and
so
we've
we
felt
the
urge
and
need
kind
of
as
community
stakeholders
to
to
take
a
harder
look
at
that.
C
This
work
that
we
were
trying
to
to
implement.
So
you
see
them
the
current
mill
district
board
on
the
right
hand,
side
there.
We've
got
a
lot
of
good
stakeholders,
residents
in
the
neighborhood,
organizational
leaders,
they're
doing
existing
work
and
they
ever
hood
and
then
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
where
we
are
staffing,
wise,
I
work,
full
time
for
historic
Columbus.
The
previous
mayor
asked
historic
Columbus
to
help
administer
the
city
village
master
plan,
historic
Columbus's.
C
Won't
wanted
to
stay
engaged
in
the
process
just
because
it
fits
within
our
mission
of
work
at
historic,
Columbus
and,
and
so
the
mill
district
now
contracts
for
two
days
worth
of
my
time
to
dedicate
towards
the
mill
district
effort.
It's
our
hope
and
my
hope
that
that
that
at
the
beginning
of
next
year,
sometime
in
kind
of
early
spring
that
the
mill
district
will
be
able
to
to
to
hire
and
sustain
its
own
executive
director.
C
One
thing
that
we
may
not
do
the
best
job
of
is
being
very
targeted
in
that
work,
and
then
so
what
we
have
found
in
our
exposure
to
purpose-built
is
that
when
you
do
that,
when
you
target
those
investments
in
a
strategic
way,
you
are
able
to
make
some
significant
gains
when
it
comes
to
a
community,
and
so
you'll
see
the
organization
of
kind
of
how
things
are
set
up.
The
community
quarterback,
that's
a
general
term
that
purpose
bill
gives
an
organization
like
the
mill
district.
C
It's
the
community
advocacy
group
that
helps
to
find
defined
strategies
for
those
three
areas,
and
you
do
that
in
a
defined
neighborhood
or
a
defined
geography,
and
those
that
includes
the
four
neighborhoods
that
we're
working
with
in
roughly
750
acres.
These
are
numbers
that
I'm
sure
you
all
are
familiar
with.
These
are
numbers
that
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
is
familiar
with,
were
you
know,
Columbus
wide
Misco
county
wide,
we're
looking
at
almost
22%
of
our
of
our
population?
That's
in
poverty.
Our
median
household
income
is
behind
the
national
average.
C
So
when
it
comes
to
mixed
income
housing,
we
have
a
developed
defined
strategy
for
for
how
to
implement
some
of
this
work.
Neighborhoods
Columbus
is
is
one
of
our
primary
partners.
They
currently
have
a
income
restricted
senior
living
facility
under
development.
Now
it's
right
next
to
Fox,
Elementary
called
Highland
Terrace,
it's
in
the
location
of
the
old
Meredith's
mill
site,
it'll,
develop
about
a
hundred
or
so
senior
housing
units
they've
also
been
doing
some
strategic
demolition
and
acquisition
in
an
along
fourth
Avenue,
one
of
the
most
challenged
streets
in
the
entire
area.
C
The
three
images
you
see
there
at
the
bottom:
that's
the
the
cozy
corner
if
you're
familiar
with
that
property
located
at
35th,
Street
and
fourth
Avenue,
but
we're
already
beginning
to
see
some
positive
movement
in
terms
of
crime
and
things
like
that
in
an
along
fourth
Avenue
in
that
particular
area.
Another
critical
partner
in
terms
of
providing
affordable
housing
is,
of
course,
the
local
Housing
Authority
chase
homes
is
located
within
the
mill
district
area.
C
We
should
be
seeing
the
Housing
Authority
should
receive
the
low-income
housing
tax
credit
award
from
DCA
to
bring
that
housing
down
and
then
rebuild
on
that
existing
site
on
the
northern
portion
to
move
it
away
as
best
as
possible
from
the
railroad
tracks
and
the
electrical
substations.
The
the
interesting
thing
about
the
redevelopment
of
Chase
homes
will
be
that
it
will
you'd
like
at
Columbus
Commons
in
the
Liberty
district.
C
It
will
include
a
mixed
income
component,
and
so
some
of
the
experts
at
purpose-built
and
and
some
of
some
other
like
projects
in
the
country
have
found
that
there
is
a
need
and
a
great
benefit
to
providing
mixed
income
housing
and
not
concentrating
poverty
in
one
particular
development
or
one
particular
area.
So
the
new
Chase
homes,
whatever
it
ends
up
being
called,
will
have
a
mixed
income
component,
which
will
will
mean
that
there
will
be
market
rate
apartments,
affordable
apartments
and
then
deep
subsidy
apartments
available
to
the
community.
C
Education
is
a
is
a
big
portion
of
this
work
and
it's
frankly,
something
that
is
not
my
particular
background
or
strong
suit.
So
I've
relied
on
many
of
people
on
our
on
our
board
and
community
members
to
assist
with
some
of
this
work.
But
one
of
the
big
things
that
purpose-built
community's
pushes
is
to
develop
a
cradle
to
college
pipeline
and
that
can
come
in
many
forms
and
it
is
for
Columbus.
C
So
far
it
has
come
in
the
form
of
a
an
MoU
with
the
school
district,
particularly
particularly
directed
at
Fox
elementary
school,
and
so
we
have
an
education
governance
committee
that
works
directly
with
Fox
directly
with
the
principal
there
dr.
vent
Scarborough
to
help
fill
the
gap
when
when
gaps
are
discovered
and
and
so
today
the
mill
district
has
fundraised
and
is
going
to
provide
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
five
years,
going
forward
to
fund
four
critical
positions
at
Fox.
Elementary
dr.
Scarborough
right
now
does
not
have
an
assistant
principal.
C
She
does
not
have
a
dedicated
social
worker,
a
parent
involvement,
specialist
or
a
K
through
two
instructional
coach,
and
those
are
the
things
that
that
she
tells
us
and
the
purpose-built
backs
up.
Those
are
critical
needs
at
that
school,
and
so
those
are
needs
that
the
mill
district
has
been
able
to
fulfill
for
this
year
and
will
be
for
five
years
going
forward.
We're
also
working
with
a
neighborhood
kind
of
community-based
faith-based
private
school
called
true
spring
Academy.
Many
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
the
work
that
Rob
and
Carrie
Strickland
do
at
this
school.
C
They
do
a
great
job,
taking
some
of
the
some
of
the
most
difficult
cases
at
Fox
and
providing
them
a
smaller
classroom,
size
and
more
one-on-one
time,
and
so
today,
they've
got
a
three
four
they've
got
K
through
four
classes,
roughly
sixty
kids
total
and
they
expand
a
grade
every
year,
we're
working
with
them
and
having
discussions
with
him
about
developing
an
Early,
Learning
Center.
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
found
in
this
work
that
is
critical
to
families.
C
This
is
a
pretty
critical
component
of
the
work
as
well.
We've
really
been
fortunate
in
the
sense
that
we've
got
great
organizations
and
partners
already
doing
really
just
not
going
down
the
park
when
it
comes
to
this
type
of
work
in
the
area.
Mercy
Medical
Umba
is
something
lead
the
way
to
provide
affordable
health
care
right
smack
in
the
middle
of
the
project
area.
C
And
so
our
hope
here
is
to
help
address
the
needs
of
the
existing
community
through
these
three
particular
areas,
but
also
to
attract
some
new
investment.
Studies.
Show
us
that
you
know
providing
a
or
what's
critical
to
developing
a
sustainable
growing
community
is
to
provide
for
a
mix
of
incomes
and
so
a
mix
of
housing
in
the
area,
so
we'll
try
to
find
ways
to
attract
new
investment
and
new
families
to
this
area.
C
I
think
we'll
be
successful
in
doing
that
and
we're
already
seeing
some
some
investment
in
them
along
2nd
Avenue,
as
well
as
in
Bibb
City
already,
so
we're
excited
about
the
work
we
think
it
can
carry
over.
We
think
it's
a
good.
A
good
model.
Purpose-Built
is
a
nationally
acclaimed
organization.
There
are.
C
There
are
26
27
other
Network
members,
which
Columbus
is
now
one
of
as
of
last
last
month
and
that
affords
us
a
lot
of
legitimization
when
it
comes
to
applying
for
grants
and
things
of
that
sort,
and
we
think
it's
a
it's
a
great
model
and
we'll
see
how
it
goes.
It
is
long-term
work,
hopefully,
city
manager.
We
will
see
it
in
your
lifetime
on
2nd
Avenue,
as
well
as
the
Liberty
district,
but
we
feel
like
this
is
a
great
place
to
start.
D
E
Mr.
great,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation.
I
too,
was
there
from
the
beginning.
I
took
the
walk
when
we
first
looked
at
our
big
city,
so
I'm
aware
of
where
it's
been
and
where
it's
come
matter
of
fact.
During
that
conversation
and
I
had
and
I
said,
I
bet
this
project
will
take
off
first,
and
it
did
my
question
to
you
is
as
we're
using
this
as
an
example
we'll
then
the
board,
or
some
of
the
organizations
like
the
historic
district,
the
school
system
in
looking
at
the
Liberty
district.
A
E
D
E
That
organization,
you
know
for
those
interested
in
helping
delivery
district
to
get
educated
on
it
to
see
because
I
like
Isaiah
in
my
lifetime,
because
I'm
planning
on
going
to
work
on
this
is
my
home
in
my
lifetime.
I
would
love
to
see
the
livery
district
and
my
only
interest
in
it
is
not
because
it's
in
my
district,
but
it
was
the
rich
history
that
it
has,
and
we
can.
One
of
our
slogan
says
we
preserve
our
community
in
the
past
and
now
we're
seeing
amazing
things
are
happening.
E
E
It's
just
a
matter
of
timing
and
the
key
people
being
involved
and
I
just
feel
that
if
organizations
like
yourself
for
success
somewhere
I'm
going
to
get
it
I
feel
that
they
can
share
that
knowledge
or
assistant
to
get
the
air
that
area
I
know
that's
your
main
focus
now,
but
I
hope
you
consider
it
because
I
might
be
70.
80
years
old
and
I'm
still
gonna
be
Liberty
district
Liberty
district.
Until
we
get
something
there.
C
A
She
asks
you
the
question,
but
I
was
just
going
to
say
yeah,
you
were
there
early
on
and
we
met
at
comer
yeah
and
we
had
people
from
all
over
Columbus
in
the
room.
In
fact,
I'm
gonna
ask
the
deputy
city
manager
to
put
on
the
screen
the
list
of
people,
and
but
this
document
says
the
city,
village,
riverfront
vision
and
master
plan
as
a
result
of
a
comprehensive
two-year
plan
in
process
two
years.
A
The
this
final
document
represents
the
culmination
of
intense
resident
and
community
outreach,
engagement
and
thinking
about
the
future
of
the
cult
of
this
Columbus's
in
town
neighborhood,
known
as
city
village
and
and
of
Columbus
as
a
whole.
But
there
are
two
pages
and
so
people
were
invited
to
come
to
the
table
and
and
as
we
went
to
more
and
more
meetings,
you
know
you
didn't
have.
All
of
these
people
were
not
in
the
room,
you
know
some
fell
off
and
there
are
two
pages.
A
Some
fell
off
in
some
kill
coming
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
you
were
ended
up
with
3035
people
there,
but
they
were
people
who
were
committed
and
willing
to
work.
Not
saying
they
weren't
committed,
but
you
had
enough
to
go
around,
but
you
have
participating
organizations,
you
can
see
architects
and
you
know
just
you
see
the
list
and
but
but
this
list
was
I,
don't
know
who
created
the
list.
A
Justin
of
you
know
who
you're
working
with
now
and
so
I
said
all
that
to
say:
councilor
Woodson
that
once
you're
established
your
core
committee,
then
that
working
committee
is
going
to
solicit
historic
Columbus
and
all
these
other
organizations
that
come
to
the
table
and
buy
in
just
like
you
bought
in
in
city
village.
We
want
the
same
kind
of
work
out
of
you
and
so
I
think
you
know
if
you
can
get
it
organized
and
get
it
going.
A
A
E
C
And-
and
let
me
offer
this
to
the
council
I-
think
historic
Columbus
has
the
interest
in
the
Liberty
district
I,
don't
know
that
we've
got
the
the
staff
power
to
commit
kind
of
what
we
have
committed
there
right
now,
as
we've
got
committed
currently
to
to
the
mill
district.
But
we
would
like
to
participate
in
the
process
and-
and
maybe
it's
you
know-
maybe
some
help
will
come
and
somewhat
of
a
an
unbiased
third
party.
You
know
something
you
know
that.
Doesn't
we
don't
a
particular
agenda?
E
A
Mr.
mayor
I,
don't
want
to
prolong
it,
I'm
I,
don't
have
any
more
questions
or
anything
else.
I
don't
know
if
there
any
other
questions,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
here's
a
model
and
they
started
much
later
than
a
Liberty
district,
and
we
see
the
progress
that
they've
made
and
we
see
the
lack
of
progress.
D
Liberty
I
think
the
model
that
has
been
developed
and
is
currently
functioning
quite
well
is,
is
it
can
be
broader
than
just
the
Liberty
I
think
that,
as
we
look
at
the
areas
and
pockets
of
poverty
and
substandard
housing
and
limited
access
to
medical
and
education
facilities,
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
template
that
we
could
use
to
try
to
go
in
there
and
revitalize
communities
throughout
this.
This
city
I
really
applaud
what
you
guys
have
done
and
I
think
it's
interesting
too
that
it's!
D
You
know
if
you
try
to
get
room
romanticized
about
the
thing,
but
you
you
know
the
town
started
on
the
river
because
of
the
power
of
the
water.
You
know
fueling
the
mills
and
it
spread
north
and
it
spread
southeast,
and
we
see
that
happening
again.
The
energy
from
the
river
that
has
created
all
this
excitement
in
the
Uptown
area
and
the
vitality
that
we're.
