This event has ended, but don't worry we have a new forum each week!
Downtown Columbus is being reshaped daily, thanks in part to the vision of developers like Jim Merkel, CEO and Co-Founder of Rockbridge, Merkel is spearheading the creation of a new 197-room hotel, The Junto, located just west of COSI, which opened Memorial Day weekend. The new project is more than just another new downtown hotel: it’s intended to be a focal point for the burgeoning Peninsula neighborhood, with an eight-floor bar overlooking the City’s spectacular Dorrian Green park, a restaurant designed to lure local residents, and even a walk-up poutine window for passers-by craving a snack. Join us for a 1:1 conversation with downtown visionary Jim Merkel as we explore the critical role of placemaking as downtown Columbus reinvents itself, with host Eleanor Kennedy, Assistant Managing Editor, Columbus Business First.
