GCAC & Chase announced today that there is a new grant for Central Ohio neighborhoods to apply for to help fund individual projects that will celebrate the Columbus bicentennial next year:

This sounds like a great program that can help provide some unique individual programming throughout the region.

Wondering if anyone has creative ideas on the types of projects that should be presented for this, or which neighborhoods specifically should be most embraced when it comes to celebrating 200 years of Columbus.

All neighborhoods located within Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Licking, Madison, Pickaway and Union counties are eligible to apply for grants.

I am going with Grandview and that area by the railroad tracks in Pataskala.

roll building codes back to 1811-levels for one month; builders can disregard all newer laws and ordinances as long as the project is finished within that month.

Yeah, I was sort of surprised to hear that grant applications could come from the seven-county region.

Columbus is turning 200. When other cities in the region celebrate their bicentennials are they going to be installing artwork outside of their city borders? Hrmm...

exhume the bones of the city's founding fathers and... eh we'll figure something out.

Heck even 'which neighborhoods specifically should be most embraced' seems a bit strange. As Rockmastermike said, it is about the City of Columbus and all of the nieghborhoods that comprise it. I think it should not be about who gets picked first for dodgeball.

Hopefully it ends up with something in every one of Columbus' neighborhoods.
