Following the establishment of Franklin Park Conservatory after Ameriflora ’92, a community-inspired Master Plan was developed in 1999-2000 in partnership with the City of Columbus Department of Recreation and Parks.
This plan was executed in two phases, with Phase One taking place from 2008-2011 and Phase Two from 2013-2018. A total of $45 million for both phases was raised from the public and private sectors in two successful capital campaigns. In total, ten major Master Plan projects will have been completed by 2018.
