Join Zone In for a workshop on Wednesday, July 23rd from 5-7PM at West High School (179 S Powell Ave, 43204). 

The first Zone In reforms laid the groundwork for expanding access to housing by modernizing Columbus’ zoning code and removing barriers to new construction along the city’s primary corridors. While this was a crucial first step, it primarily addressed only one part of the affordability challenge. Columbus must also ensure that residents have access to high-quality jobs with fair and sustainable wages.

Zone In will now focus on expanding economic and housing opportunities for all Columbus residents. This work will continue to modernize the zoning code to support job growth, build more housing and foster prosperity citywide by updating zoning regulations for areas that have been identified as being well-suited for enhanced mixed-used developments, industrial and warehouse operations, and business and institutional campuses — including hospitals, academic institutions and office parks.

• Buckeye Middle School (2950 Parsons Ave) on Wednesday, July 16th from 5-7PM
