A Columbus Metropolitan Club forum at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum convened local music leaders to discuss how to grow Columbus's music economy. Panelists described existing programs (Music Columbus incubator, instrument drives, venue programming), highlighted a $1.3 billion local music economic impact, and identified gaps: industry infrastructure (labels, publishers, management), mid-sized and outdoor venues, funding/stipends, marketing/export events and transit access. Panelists urged coordinated public-private investment, audience-building, protections for small venues and strategic branding to turn local success into national visibility.
