Greg Davies, former chief of staff for Mayor Andrew J. Ginther, has been named CEO of the Columbus Downtown Development Corp. and Capitol South.
Amy Taylor, who had been CDDC s and Capitol South s COO, has been named president. Taylor has been with the organizations for 14 years.
Davies and Taylor were appointed by the CDDC and Capitol South board to replace former President and CEO Guy Worley, whose last day was Monday. Davies and Taylor begin their new roles June 14.
Davies was Ginther s first chief of staff in 2015, helping him put together his cabinet. More recently, he has been vice president of planning and development for the Columbus Partnership, which has recently taken a more-active role in Downtown development.
Columbus CEO
Recently, I asked a colleague what Downtown is like these days, how it’s doing. While our Capitol Square offices remain officially closed, he’s been working from there frequently the past few months as the company works out the details of our return-to-work plans.
He says Downtown remains quiet. I’ve got to wonder with a bit of unease how long will it stay that way?
“Quiet” was actually the same way someone else described Downtown to me during a recent conversation, but she was referring to the Downtown Columbus of 30 years ago.
When Sandy Doyle-Ahern moved to Columbus from outside Philadelphia for a job, “I remember being just so surprised at how quiet Downtown was. That it really wasn’t a downtown, it was kind of a conglomerate of buildings. But there wasn’t a lot of activity occurring,” she says.

of consent decree timelines.
In 1994, Congress gave the Department of Justice the power to address a pattern and practice of police misconduct within departments and to sue cities for civil relief. Consent decrees can involve any government agency, but are most commonly used with police departments.
Since that time, how many investigations and decrees are started each year has become somewhat political.
While President Barack Obama was in office, there were 25 investigations launched, resulting in 15 consent decrees entered into by the DOJ. By contrast, there were only three consent decrees during the administration of President George W. Bush.
