OUR PURPOSE | We are leading Columbus to the future and ensuring your place in it.
Columbus received a total of 50 million in the form of two grants, 40 million from USDOT and 10 million from Vulcan, Inc., a Paul G. Allen Philanthropies. These dollars provide the seed funding for Smart Columbus, a region-wide Smart City initiative co-led by the City of Columbus and Columbus Partnership. The City of Columbus, under the leadership of Mayor Andrew J. Ginther, is the lead recipient of the 50 million and will administer
the deployment of these funds for the duration of the grant period, which concludes at the end of 2020.
The Columbus Partnership, representing the Columbus Region’s private sector, is the lead implementation partner for the grant program and is responsible for the initiative’s Acceleration Fund, which is credited as a significant factor in Columbus’ winning of the challenge. The Acceleration Fund is made up of coordinated and aligned investments by the private and public sectors that will complement, scale and sustain Smart Columbus projects and programs into the future. What started as 90 million when we won the challenge, has grown to more than 500 million, with a goal of 1 billion by 2020.
