| COLUMBUS CITY COUNCIL MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release: September 26, 2010 For More Information: John Ivanic, (614) 645-6798 |
(Columbus)—In today’s Columbus Dispatch editorial entitled Shape the future, the piece incorrectly indicates that a Finance and Economic Development committee hearing scheduled for Tuesday, September 28 will address issues surrounding the casino development along West Broad Street. This is not the case. The meeting will instead focus on a proposed Joint Economic Development District in Prairie Township, not Franklin Township. Below is the release that went out Wednesday, September 22. Please feel free to contact me if you have question on either subject matter.
