Upcoming meetings and events.

Northwest Civic Association holds regular monthly meetings, annual meetings, special meetings, and several events throughout the year. Meeting agendas are posted on our home page shortly before each meeting, and meeting minutes are posted here about a month afterward, pending trustees’ approval. Please come and join us!

Regular Meetings

During regular monthly meetings, guest speakers present topics of local interest, and the Trustees deliberate on re-zoning and graphics variance applications, during which the public is encouraged to participate with questions and feedback.

Our regular monthly meetings begin promptly at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month, (occasionally we take a month off) at the Northwest Church of the Nazarene, 5707 Olentangy River Road, Columbus, OH 43235. The public is welcome, except when the board meets in executive session. Beginning with our April 6, 2022 meeting, we will be meeting in person with a Zoom option for members of the public who still prefer to attend virtually. 

Below are the recent regular meeting agenda and minutes. If needed, you can request earlier documents by email.
