After more than a decade of service and numerous successful initiatives, the Parsons Avenue Redevelopment Corporation will officially conclude its operations, effective immediately.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the dedicated board members who generously volunteered their time, the local businesses committed to strengthening Parsons Avenue, and the South Side residents whose support has sustained us since day one.

While this chapter is coming to a close, our work to build a stronger, more vibrant community is far from over — in fact, we’re expanding our impact.

We’re proud to announce the launch of our new nonprofit organization: Columbus Redevelopment Corporation. Our mission is to support and grow affordable housing initiatives across Franklin County, complementing the important work already being done in this space.

To celebrate this next step, we invite you to join us for our official launch event and fundraiser on November 6 at Strongwater in Franklinton. We are currently seeking event sponsors, but we also warmly welcome individual attendees who wish to learn more and show their support.

For event details, sponsorship opportunities, ticket information, and more about our organization, please visit our website.

Thank you for your continued support — we’re excited for what’s ahead.

July is the birth month of George McClellan Parsons (1818-1895)

Mr. Parsons, who was an attorney by the age of 25 and director of the Franklin Bank by 27. He would become director of the Hocking Valley Railroad and Columbus Harrisburgh-Turnpike. Mr. Parsons and his wife Jane had a daughter Amelia who held the only royal wedding in Franklin County when she married Prince Zu Lynar of the Imperial Prussian Legation.

The Parsons family made their home on a street that would one day bear their name, specifically at 156 Parsons Avenue. This location would become the future home of the Columbus School for Girls from 1901-1953.
