Take a survey & offer input to MORPC (Mid Ohio Regional Planning Commission)
Last week, MORPC launched a survey to find out why and how people use data about Central Ohio (in fact, you may have received an email from us inviting you to participate).
To ensure broad representation from across our region, we are asking key local stakeholders to help us distribute the survey. We would be most appreciative if you could email the survey to your constituent/contact list and share via social media. To help, I’ve included sample tweets and email text for your use.
TWEETS
- What would you like to know about Central Ohio? Let @MORPC know by Sept 15:http://bit.ly/2wiDp9m

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) is conducting a survey to find out why and how people use data about the Central Ohio region. We need feedback from current and potential data users to help us understand how to provide data in the ways that are most useful to the people and organizations who need it.You may be wondering if you are the ‘right’ kind of data user to take this survey—the answer is almost certainly ‘yes’. We know that data is everywhere these days–whether it’s a big or small part of your life, chances are, you use data in some way. Regardless, MORPC would like to know more about that. Participation in this survey will provide MORPC, and its partner organizations, with valuable information about how to collect, maintain, analyze and provide data resources to the Central Ohio region.
Click here to be directed to the survey, which takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey will be available through September 15, 2017.
If you have questions about the survey, please contact Liz Whelan (MORPC) at lwhelan@morpc.org.
Thank you for your participation!

Update from SWACO
The latest information from Ty Marsh at SWACO:
We have been working hard to locate and place additional drop-off recycling containers in Clintonville. We are pleased to share that residents are now able to recycle – beyond their curbside container – at three (3), newly placed 8-cubic yard recycling containers at:
· The Soldiery, 4256 North High Street, Columbus, OH 43214 (between Indian Springs and Cooke Road)
We appreciate the generous support of The Soldiery and the community in making this location possible.
As previously mentioned, we are engaged with the city of Columbus on the potential use of one of their Clintonville property locations. We will also explore additional partnerships for other locations in the area.
As you know, our drop-off recycling program has undergone recent changes. Even with those changes, SWACO continues to provide 133 recycling containers at 55 locations throughout Franklin County.

The positive West Nile Virus pools do serve as a reminder for us to continue protecting ourselves from mosquito bites and to eliminate stagnant water from our properties including places such as gutters, rain barrels, and bird baths. One can also protect themselves from mosquito bites by using insect repellents and by minimizing their time spent outside during the late evening and early morning hours. Please let Ryan Younge, RS, the Vector Control Program Manager, know if you would like to discuss in further detail our mosquito reduction activities planned in Clintonville this week.
