Commissioners Want Downtown Park To Remain Forever
COLUMBUS, Ohio—Franklin County Commissioners are considering a plan to spend $3 million on the Columbus Commons Park that will exist at the site of the former City Center mall.
Commissioner Paula Brooks told NBC 4 that the commissioners want to preserve 6 acres of green space forever as a means of attracting tourism.
Brooks said she envisioned a Central Park-feel to the downtown green space, which will be surrounded by development.
Commissioners will discuss the funding Thursday and expect to vote on Tuesday.
