The Pizzuti project will be voted on TODAY by city council: Voice your now!

The Pizzuti Company’s proposal to add 263 housing units on the site of the former Giant Eagle at Jaegar and Whittier streets will be voted on today by Columbus City Council.

Did you know the historic Barrett School is *TALLER* than the proposed housing on Whittier? Anti-housing activists (who are weaponizing historic preservation) would like to ignore this.

Still on our radar: Support these projects!

This proposal to build more housing in Clintonville has already sparked opposition, even though there were more than 1,000 additional people living in this census tract at N. High and Weber Road in 1960. Some people want to keep our neighborhoods depopulated—depriving businesses of customers and artificially restricting the housing supply to keep prices high. If you live nearby, consider contacting the Clintonville Area Commission to express support for the project.
This proposal to build affordable housing in South Linden didn’t receive support from the area commission, but it deserves yours. It checks all the boxes: redevelops a long-vacant site, offers more housing for more people, AND it’s even affordable! Let city council know you support this important project on Bonham Avenue with our letter/email template.
This proposal to build more housing on E. 7th Avenue in the University District, including affordable units, received overwhelming support at a Weinland Park Community Civic Association meeting. The developers engaged in a unique subcommittee process with neighbors that resulted in a robust Memorandum of Understanding that outlines numerous stipulations and benefits to the community.
This proposal to add more housing to downtown faced some opposition during the Development Commission hearing. Located on Cleveland Avenue in a census tract with 4,130 people today, the same tract was home to just over 13,000 people in 1960. It’s time to rebuild our lost population downtown, and this adaptive reuse of the Kroger bakery is a great start.
