Franklinton is the oldest part of Columbus, with a mix of residential streets and former industrial areas that are home to parks, art galleries, event spaces, and over 8,000 residents. The current resurgence of Franklinton was made possible by the completion of the Franklinton Floodwall in 2004, which helped Franklinton reinvent itself. Today we’ll explore what’s happening in Franklinton with the help of a panel of passionate leaders.
