Mayor Coleman's Statement On Blue Jackets Report

"The Blue Jackets are good for Columbus and have a positive economic impact on our city. They help create jobs and serve as a real and powerful economic stimulus for Columbus," said Mayor Coleman.  "I applaud the Chamber and Dr. Buser for their in-depth research into the team's value, its financial situation and our community's options. While we will not use city tax dollars from our general operating fund that are dedicated for basic city services, the public and private sectors should explore options that keep them in Columbus."
