What We Do.
Development
NWCA helps enforce development standards that prevent poorly planned or unattractive developments and commercial graphics, such as:
Northwest Plan
Bethel Road Standards
Sawmill Corridor Development Standards
All NWCA activities fall into two main categories:
Review graphics and zoning applications in our monthly meetings and make recommendations to the Columbus City Council
Advocate for citizens and the community at-large to City service providers. We may also organize or sponsor activities to foster neighborliness and engagement in the northwest Columbus community.
Advocacy
As advocates for citizen interests, we help citizens and the City resolve code violations, such as:
illegal signs and structures
unkempt lots
abandoned or illegally parked cars
unlicensed businesses in residential neighborhoods
NWCA advocates for street improvement, street lights, sidewalks, and bikeways. NWCA supports our local schools, promotes neighborhood beautification, and works to improve local parks. NWCA also works with Don Scott Field (The Ohio State University airport) to address its impact on the surrounding community.
Over the years, NWCA has sponsored or hosted a variety of events from Easter Egg Rolls to Christmas Light contests. Most recently, NWCA has supported National Night Out in 2019 and again in 2022.
