This page highlights development studies and plans which are specific to individual development or infrastructure projects rather than neighborhoods or the overall region. These documents tend to be by or for the City of Columbus, and usually involve either city or state government projects. The files are in PDF format and are listed in chronological order, and in some cases, by the specific project if there were multiple different plans.
