All-Hands on Deck Campaign - The Mill District Inc.

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Thursday, September 3rd, 2026

City Officials will host a ‘Neighborhood Meeting’ on Tuesday, September 29th at  5:00pm at Harvest Coffee on 2nd Avenue as part of the ‘All Hands on Deck Campaign’ to clean up our  neighborhoods and our city.  We must get a handle on the uncleanliness of our community, and it will take “all of  our community leaders and residents to make this happen”. This is just the start of getting this done through  collaboration and coordination.   

Deputy City Manager, Lisa Goodwin, will coordinate this effort in conjunction with Public Works, Inspections  and Codes, Keep Columbus Beautiful, METRA, Parks and Recreation and others as a part of this concerted effort.  

We will talk about how the city can assist the residents in getting their neighborhood cleaned up with the  assistance of the city.  We will make clean up kits available to the community, and the city will come and pick up 
the debris.      

We are currently scheduling meetings in other districts as well.  It will take “ALL HANDS ON DECK” to make  this happen! 

If you have an organization that would like to be a part of this effort, please contact me so that we can coordinate  an area for clean-up.
