Columbus Changing Stations Accessibility Grant Launches

City Council unanimously passed legislation sponsored by Councilmember Stinziano to fund a new grant program for small businesses and organizations to increase equal access to diaper changing stations for all parents and guardians in the City of Columbus.

The article continues:

"When a constituent approached me about an experience at a local restaurant and not having the proper environment to change his infant daughter, I looked into how the City could help," said Stinziano. "Columbus is home to the modern family – where parents share equal and interchangeable responsibilities – I want public facilities to reflect this fact."

Businesses and other organizations are encouraged to apply for changing stations to grant equal access to their facilities. Grant applications are available at columbus.gov/changingstation.
