On Saturday, July 8, 2006, a Visioning Charette for East Main Street in Columbus was held at the Central Community House. 23 design professionals and over 60 residents and other stakeholders participated. The results of that charrette are summarized in this site.

The charrette was held at the request of residents and stakeholders and Mark Barbash, the Director of the Department of Development of the City of Columbus.

The GOAL of the charrette was to develop a vision for East Main Street as a whole. While specific sites and buildings may be shown in the results, the objective was not to prescribe specific locations but to show how individual buildings and sites could be integrated into a cohesive vision of East Main Street.
