Ignite Eastland’s Comeback!

Eastland Ignite is a partnership between the City of Refuge GoodLife Foundation and the City of Columbus Clean & Safe Corridors program, created to strengthen and revitalize the Eastland business corridor within the 43232 zip code. The initiative focuses on improving safety, beautification, customer traffic, and overall business growth — all guided by the voices of local business owners.

Eastland Ignite makes participation simple and meaningful. Through surveys, outreach programs, and listening sessions, business owners help identify the corridor’s top needs and shape the improvements that matter most.

What to Expect

Through the Clean & Safe Corridors initiative, local entrepreneurs can share their experiences and concerns about safety, beautification, and neighborhood improvements. This program provides a platform for Eastland businesses within the 43232 zip code to voice their ideas, collaborate with city partners, and help guide real investments that strengthen the community.

Grant Opportunity

Business owners who take the survey and participate in upcoming Q&A sessions (information will be sent regarding location, dates, and time) will have the opportunity to qualify for a business grant up to $10,000, with awards issued January–February 2027.
