On February 20, CMC hosted our third annual State of Downtown, a popular forum where key downtown stakeholders discuss what's coming into the area, what's being built, and what might be the Next Big Thing downtown.

Marc Conte (Deputy Director of Research, Planning and Facilities at Capital Crossroads and Discovery Special Improvement Districts) presented findings from the organization's State of Downtown Report, which provides spotlights and data about major investments, housing, employment and office markets, hospitality, and transportation.

Led by moderator Cleve Ricksecker (Executive Director of Capital Crossroads and Discovery Special Improvement Districts), our panel featured Melanie Corn, Ed.D. (President of Columbus College of Art and Design), Jessica Mathews (Placemaker/Street Disruptor at Kaufman Development), and Joel Pizzuti (President of The Pizzuti Companies).

Recorded on February 20, 2019 at the Boat House at Confluence Park in Columbus, Ohio.
