MEET EMMANUEL
Emmanuel Remy currently serves as the Chair of Public Safety, Environment, and Administration committees. Emmanuel has previously chaired the Public Service and Transportation Committee and Economic Development. During his 5-year tenure on council, he has worked to meet and better understand the needs of each neighborhood in Columbus. Under Emmanuel’s direction, the city has installed more sidewalks around schools to assure safe routes to school, decreased the amount of litter, debris, and illegal dumping throughout the city, provided employment for those that are unemployed or under-employed and is currently working to provide Columbus residents tools for a safer Columbus.
Prior to joining Council, Emmanuel spent six years as the president of the Northland Community Council. As president, Emmanuel worked with Northland’s police liaisons, the City Attorney’s office and other city and state entities to close down five crime-ridden hotels by having them declared a nuisance. This success led to Emmanuel advocating for licensing requirements to help shutdown “problem” hotels in other parts of the city. This work led to the implementation of a model that is praised nationally, for ridding the city of problem hotels. Over the course of his leadership in Northland, Emmanuel worked to redevelop the Morse Road corridor and served on the committee to reauthorize the Morse Road Special Improvement District (SID).
