Join us for the first public meeting of the Franklinton Public Realm Action Plan on Wednesday, May 21st from 5:30-7PM, Gladden Community House. Come share your ideas, ask questions, and be part of the conversation. Your voice matters—and it’s what will shape the future of Franklinton.

The Franklinton Public Realm Action Plan is a collaborative initiative between the Franklinton Board of Trade (FBOT) and the City of Columbus to create a practical roadmap for capital improvements in the area. Based on the 2024 Franklinton Area Commission community survey, this plan will identify specific project needs along with scope and cost estimations to secure public and private funding for efficient implementation.

Led by REALM Collaborative, with support from the Neighborhood Design Center for community engagement and Burgess & Niple for cost analysis, this effort emphasizes community-driven decision-making. The initiative is designed as an actionable blueprint, with the FBOT serving as a facilitator while community voices drive the outcomes.
