Franklin County and ECDI jointly launched a new retail incubation program that is targeting specific neighborhoods throughout Columbus. The “Retail Incubation Supporting Entrepreneurs” (RISE) program has a goal of giving retail a boost in places such as Cleveland Avenue, West Broad Street around the Hollywood Casino, and a new potential vision for The Lennox Town Center in Clinton Township (pictured above) as a part of the Clinton West Neighborhood Plan.
“This was the brainchild of the Franklin County Development Department and Commissioners,” says Steve Fireman, President of ECDI. “This loan fund also includes dollars for value added education and technical assistance for our loan clients.”
