ULI Columbus was awarded one of seventeen grants at the ULI Fall Meeting in Chicago last week!

To continue the efforts of ULI Columbus’ initiative Columbus 2050, and examine more closely the impacts of how and where the region will grow, ULI Columbus will partner with the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and the Columbus Partnership to complete a regional growth analysis of the fiscal, environmental, and public health impacts of alternative land use and transportation scenarios for the Central Ohio Region. Together with our partners, a firm will be hired to conduct the regional growth scenario analysis.  The benefits of various growth patterns will then be used by MORPC and local governments to guide decisions about Central Ohio’s growth strategies.
