Downtown Columbus on a Roll, but is Hungry for More
Monday, May 11th, 2015
Heading into this weekend's Uptown Riverfest, Richard Bishop paused for a moment to reflect on how far downtown Columbus has come just in the past decade. He measured it in a fairly simple way, using an example that impacts just about everybody who visits the central business district.
"When I was deputy city manager, I could come to Broadway at lunchtime and get the same parking space every day. That's a fact and that's been 10 plus years ago," said Bishop, now president and chief executive officer of Uptown Columbus Inc. "That won't happen today. At lunchtime, you can't hardly find a parking space."
