Columbus Metropolitan Club Forum: “How a Billion-Dollar Ballot Will Reshape Columbus”

Wednesday, October 1, 12noon-1pm, National Veterans Memorial and Museum, 300 W. Broad St., this event will also be live-streamed on YouTube

On Tuesday, November 4, Columbus voters will weigh in on the largest bond package in city history — $1.9 billion to fund neighborhood investments, infrastructure, affordable housing, public safety, and more. At stake is $250 million for Safety, Health and Infrastructure, $250 million for Recreation and Parks, $500 million for Neighborhood Development and Affordable Housing, $400 million for Public Service, and $500 million for Public Utilities. City leaders say the package will allow Columbus to meet the demands of rapid growth without raising taxes, continuing a legacy of responsible borrowing and long-term planning. Join the Columbus Metropolitan Club for a conversation with civic leaders, advocates, and experts as we unpack what’s at stake in the November vote — and what it means for the future of Columbus.

Featuring Nick Bankston, Columbus City Council member; Executive Director, Affordable Housing Alliance of Central Ohio; Andrew J. Ginther, Mayor, City of Columbus; with moderator Mark Ferenchik, News Director, WOSU 89.7 NPR News.
