Bill would designate Depression Era public housing Poindexter Village as Ohio historic site

A bill that would designate the former Poindexter Village housing project as a state historic site is being introduced in the Ohio House of Representatives.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Near East Side development in 1940, one of the first public housing projects in the country.
State Rep. Dontavius Jarrells, D-Columbus, will be introducing the legislation later this week.
"As one of Columbus’ most historic neighborhoods, Poindexter Village was a thriving oasis of music, art, and culture for so many Black families,” Jarrells said in a statement on Monday. “Designating Poindexter Village as a historical site with the Ohio History Connection ensures the history of this beautiful community will never be forgotten."
