Five years after the 22-foot Christopher Columbus statue was removed from the grounds of City Hall, Reimagining Columbus is ready to present a vision for how the statue could be displayed in the city again — but don't expect an announcement about where it's going. Just know, it's not going back up at Columbus City Hall. Mayor Andrew J. Ginther has made that clear.
Reimagining Columbus, a group created to advise on public art, is hosting an event at Whetstone Park on the evening of Aug. 16 to present the results of about two years of community conversations. The presentation will include a vision for how the statue could be brought back in a way that is reflective of the community's values.
