Junior Achievement of Central Ohio BizTown

Through BizTown, Junior Achievement of Central Ohio provides local students the chance to experience how basic economic concepts manifest in the real world. BizTown is a four-stage program where students in fourth through sixth-grade can experience both responsibility and entrepreneurship in a free-enterprise.

JA BizTown had outgrown their space, and their location in a limited-access industrial park was also less than ideal. That’s when the community stepped in. The Columbus City Schools agreed to provide a new location – an unused facility in need of rehabilitation. Pepper donated our management services to demolish the old location so it could be re-purposed, and built out the interiors of the new location for BizTown.
