On Tuesday, June 18, EMH&T hosted leaders from the Columbus area development community in a conversation about a significant issue facing Central Ohio: the widening gap in available housing. Over 50 individuals attended this discussion focused on how best to address the growing need for housing in the greater Columbus area to accommodate the additional million residents predicted by 2050. EMH&T was pleased to bring together representatives from several Columbus area developers – both single family and multi-family – to discuss this increasingly important topic. A follow-up conversation will occur in August, focusing on how best to move toward solutions for this important issue.
