One reason we decided to start this blog was due to the fact that there is a variety of organizatons aimed at improving the University District. But what they do and how they're different, we're not quite sure. We still don't have the answers, but here's the start of a list of organizations, what they do, or what their website provides:
University District - A site that is the collaborative effort of the University District Organization, Campus Partners, and University Community Business Association. This site is up-to-date, providing helpful information on current events and links to resources.
University Community Association - To promote and preserve the community. The site is out of date.
University Area Commission - The Commission recommends ideas, improvements, and concerns regarding the university area to Columbus City Council. This site has a good list of city resources. But it's hard to take this group seriously when the code enforcement committee member owns an abandoned house in the neighborhood.
University Area Enrichment Association - Is a civic organization that assists community members to improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods surroundings. This site is up-to-date. Be sure to check out the clean-up scheduled for March 14!
