$1.7 Billion Planned for Downtown Columbus Development

According to the latest reports, Downtown Columbus has $1 billion worth of development projects currently under construction and another $1.7 in the pipeline scheduled to begin soon. To find out more about the rapid growth and evolution of Downtown Columbus we're checking in with Marc Conte at the Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District.

I think all the development is great. However, as I drive around the city I see a lot of trash on the side of the roads. Why can't the city hire homeless people to pick up trash? Also, what about people in Franklin County jail for minor offenses. Instead of them just sitting in jail all day, have them do trash pick up. As I said, development is great, but it isn't the only thing that makes a city beautiful.

When are we going to get a "high speed line" ?

Yet life long Columbus residents like myself are losing their property due to lack of employment and forced retirement. None of these so called downtown "improvements" help people like me. The people of Cow Town need INCOME.
