The land to be developed and a map

A 140-plus year old cemetery lost to time and mostly forgotten could be dug up, built upon, and the remains thrown out, all with help from “Zone In,” says South Side activist and preservationist Bruce Miller.

“There are documents showing slaves who escaped on the underground railroad buried there, plus the least of our brothers and sisters are buried there,” says Miller, president of the Scioto Southland Civic Association. Miller and his mother also sat on the City-affiliated Far South Columbus Area Commission, but both were forced out by City officials for pushing back on “Zone In” – the City’s overhaul of zoning codes so to create more density (taller condos).

Town hall meeting

Last week community members made their voices heard at the quarterly Franklin County Investment Advisory Committee (IAC) meeting. Despite the public meeting being held at 2pm on a weekday, constituents filled the back rows of the Franklin County Government Center meeting room, many taking time off of work to show up. 

This is the second consecutive IAC meeting to receive significant public scrutiny as a result of recent reports on Franklin County’s substantial investments in Israel Bonds.

Targeting a school during a war could be justified or, at least, argued to have been a mistake. But striking over 120 schools, killing and wounding thousands of civilians sheltered inside, can only be intentional and horrific war crimes. 

 Between October 7 and July 18, Israel has done precisely that, targeting with total impunity, United Nations infrastructure in the besieged Gaza Strip.
