Developing an Action Agenda
The process centered around a charrette where representatives from all the organizations within the Creative Campus along with representatives from the City of Columbus, the Columbus Downtown Development Commission, COTA, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, and local developers, came together to discuss the area’s potential. The resulting Action Agenda was created centered around topics such as collaboration, infrastructure, safety, and improving community character.
Forging partnerships
Columbus State is one of the essential institutional anchors for Central Ohio. At the same time, the College has recognized that critical to its long-term success is working collaboratively with the City and other institutional partners. Planning NEXT has helped forge key strategic partnerships between the College and other entities. Through their work, the partner institutions have proactively engaged developers and generated significant interest from the development community.

- Long-term parking strategy
- Market and physical analysis of residential, retail and office
