COLUMBUS, Ind. – United Way of Bartholomew County and the Heritage Fund agreed to lease the East Side Community Center from the City of Columbus.
It was previously leased by East Side Community Center, Inc. who vacated the building last year.

“The East Side Community Center has been an important part of our city and the east side neighborhoods since its inception in 1978,” said Columbus Mayor Jim Leinhoop. “It’s demise leaves us with a significant void out there and we our happy the United Way and Heritage Fund our going to continue providing services to that community.”
