From that point, we’ve begundeveloping and distributing signage that is inclusive, accurate and familiar. Additionally, we have embarked on acampaign to record Ohio Voices – a community engaged podcast series – while also Labeling Location that “speaks” tothe frequent users of the spaces we inhabit regularly.
