On February 26, the Columbus Metropolitan Club (CMC) hosted their fourth annual “State of Downtown”, a popular forum where key downtown stakeholders from Cleveland, Dayton, and Columbus compared the states of downtown, discuss what’s coming into the areas, what’s being built, and what might be the next big thing.

This year’s panel included Sandra K. Gudorf, President, Downtown Dayton Partnership, Joseph Marinucci, President and CEO, Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Cleve Ricksecker, president, SID Public Services Association, and opening remarks by Marc Conte, Deputy Director, Research Planning and Facilities, SID Public Services Association.
