The Columbus Chapter of the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and USGBC Ohio – co-hosts of the annual education day and expo DesignColumbus – announce the keynote panelists for their 2017 show, to be held Tuesday, Oct. 10, at the Ohio Union, 1739 N. High St., Columbus, Ohio.
Redevelopment of the Scioto riverfront has been a focus of Columbus's 2010 Downtown Strategic Plan and has really gained traction since the opening of the Scioto Greenways in 2015. Recent groundbreakings in the Scioto Peninsula and Franklinton neighborhood continue to fuel those placemaking efforts. Keynote panelists at DesignColumbus 2017 represent major project stakeholders who will discuss current and upcoming development in the area, as well as share insights on the planning process. Highlighted will be two major ongoing projects: the National Veterans Memorial & Museum and COSI (Center of Science and Industry).
