Task Force Sponsors Shredding Day Events

The Northland Community Council (NCC) and the NABA State Route 161 Task Force were co-sponsors of the a Northland Community Shredding Day on Saturday, May 19, 2008.  Fireproof Records Center, Fifth Third Bank and Ink Well Printing partnered with NCC, the Task Force and the Columbus Division of Police to present this event.  NCC sponsored two very successful Shredding Day events, in May and again in October, in both 2006 and 2007.  In addition to providing local residents the opportunity to shred confidential materials free of charge, Shredding Day events call attention to the growing problem of identity theft.

If your business is interested in participating in the next Shredding Day event, by providing volunteers to help staff the event and/or by providing information to visitors on products or services that help address identity theft, please email events@naba161taskforce.org for more information.

Hadler Invests in Columbus Square and SR-161

The Hadler Companies, owner of the Columbus Square Shopping Center at SR-161 and Cleveland Avenue, has been making significant investments over the past year in the property, including improvements to parking lots, lighting, landscaping and security.  As an "anchor" property on the East Dublin Granville Road corridor and home to over 60 business tenants, we applaud Hadler Companies for recognizing, and promoting to other area businesses, the value of investment in the corridor and the Columbus Square property, and their importance to the Northland community.
