This is Council in 90 – Preparing Residents for the Future

A city’s growth creates tremendous opportunity, but at the same time presents unique challenges. One of these challenges is ensuring everyone has access to affordable, nutritious food. Contending with issues such as food deserts, lack of farmer’s market access and missing nutrition education among Columbus students, the city is hard at work to fill in the gaps.

Join your host, David Miller, as he chats with City Councilmember Priscilla Tyson, a champion for food access and building up people.

As our City grows, Columbus leaders need to be cognizant that unique populations have unique needs. One of those groups are the senior population of Columbus.  Franklin County’s population of residents 65 and older is expected to increase 94%

A city on the rise can succeed only if all workers share in the community’s success. When a job doesn’t pay a living wage, employees struggle to support their families, the opportunity gap widens and many families must rely on public assistance to bridge the gap.
