Two Important Presentations Scheduled for October Harrison West Society Meeting

As usual, there are many things happening in Harrison West, and October’s Harrison West Society Meeting will include two presentations regarding neighborhood interests.

First, David R. Celebrezze, Director of Air & Water Special Projects at the Ohio Environmental Council and community volunteer for the city of Columbus’ new residential recycling program, will present to the Harrison West community information on RecyColumbus. The program will be rolling out to our neighborhood on December 6, 2012. You can learn more about the program at http://publicservice.columbus.gov/Recycle/.

Second will be a presentation by two city of Columbus employees. Bill Webster, Deputy Director of Jobs and Economic Development, and Lee Hennick, TIF Coordinator, will provide residents with information on the Harrison West tax increment financing agreement (TIF). Since we all pay into the TIF, we have the opportunity to decide where the funds should be spent. Webster and Hennick will share the history of the TIF, where money has been spent thus far and what our options are for using the funds in the future. Below are some previous articles regarding the TIF and priorities for the neighborhood:
