The Collaborative is looking forward to another year of impacting and improving the quality of life in Columbus and Franklin County neighborhoods through the work of our community development corporation (CDC) partners. These CDCs include Community Development for All People, Franklinton Development Association, Greater Linden Development Corporation and Homes on the Hill Community Development Corporation.
Projects that will be spearheaded in 2013 include the creation of affordable home ownership opportunities on the South Side; completing a mixed-use project that will provide additional employment opportunities in Franklinton; conducting neighborhood clean-ups with youth involvement in the Greater Linden area; and coordinating an extreme home makeover initiative in the Hilltop area. The New Year has great works in store and the Collaborative looks forward to sharing more information with you.
