Tom Moody (politician)
Tom Moody (November 26, 1929 – October 30, 2008)[1]
Tom Moody
was the 49th mayor of Columbus, Ohio. A Republican, he
served from 1972 to 1984. During his time in office, the
Columbus Public School District was desegregated and the
city's freeway system underwent significant expansion. The
downtown skyline also grew during Moody's time in office.
The city saw development of the Huntington Center, One
Nationwide Plaza and the AEP Building. During his term, he
was involved in a late night vehicle crash. Responding to
suspicion that he was driving under the influence, Moody
stated "I'm inspecting the city".[2] Tom Moody died at the
age of 78, on October 30, 2008 of natural causes, at
Riverside Hospital.[1]
