What to do with 6,200+ vacant Columbus homes and $50 million in federal neighborhood-stabilization money?

The fact of the matter is that no one know what to do with our city’s vacant structures, Columbus has torn down 139 of them so far but you can’t demolish your way out of this problem.

Downtown Columbus Traffic Updates – Ramps/Exits Closing

As part of the Columbus Crossroads project, (i.e.-The I70-71 split fix by the ODOT) several ramp closures are in effect.

Finally Official! Columbus Home Buyers and Sellers can take advantage of Extended Tax Credit
