A movement is afoot to try to once again have the Columbus Community Coalition coalesce.
"It's something that we believe will come and should come back," Northland Community Council president Dave Paul said last week.
He was among those who helped start the organization, aimed at fostering and improving communication and cooperation among local civic associations, area commissions and community councils, in early 2008. It grew out of a working group convened the previous year by city council to make recommendations on ways citizen groups can better work together and with city officials.
Launched in August 2010, TheMetropreneur.com is a local online resource devoted to small business development and entrepreneurship. Its aim is to tell the stories of Central Ohio's business community, foster regional economic development and assist entrepreneurs with its resource-heavy focus.
