Become a Friend of the Mile
Become a Friend of the Mile
Behind every successful project is a team of supporters, and The Scioto Mile is no exception.
The City of Columbus partnered with the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation to develop and execute a comprehensive project plan and funding strategy.
