Welcome to the Near East Side

The mission of the  Near East Area Commission (NEAC) exists to honor the legacy of one of Columbus’ most historically rich communities by fostering inclusive communication, informed advocacy, and responsible development. We are committed to preserving the cultural heritage, amplifying the voices of residents, and strengthening collaboration between neighbors, city officials, and developers to ensure the Near East Side thrives as a vibrant, equitable, and forward-looking community for generations to come.
