The Short North Business Association is combining with the neighborhood's special improvement district to form a new group to steer the vision for the area while dealing with problems it continues to struggle with.
The new Short North Alliance will concentrate on safety, parking and other issues and improving access to the popular retail and entertainment district, said John Angelo, the new group's executive director and former director of the Short North Business Association.
"These problems have been here for a long time," he said.
The special improvement district was formed 12 years ago to build the arches along High Street. Now property owners want a new group to take a new tack, he said. So the business association will become dormant, while the special improvement district will continue to raise money to maintain the area. Angelo takes his new position on June 15.
