This is Beech Rd in the business park. Buried utilities, treed median, tree lawn, walking paths on both sides, and bike lanes. Here's what it looked like before: I imagine the same will be made of all the roads around Intel as well.

Thrive Companies seeking up to $10M to clean up Buckeye Auto junkyard for redevelopment "Thrives Companies is seeking up to $10 million in state cleanup money for a polluted junkyard and former landfill on McKinley Avenue along the Scioto River. Thrive wants to build a mixed-use development there that includes housing, a 12-acre park and a boat launch. The site at 2474 McKinley Ave. is now home to Buckeye Auto Parts and has previously been a landfill. According to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the pollutants buried there include organics, inorganics, heavy metals, paints, pigments, incinerator ash, and demolition debris." https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2022/02/12/developer-wants-10-million-clean-up-mckinley-ave-site-project/6702857001/

This is for the house that put up the hideous fence and had a strange grow operation going on in the backyard? For three years I lived two houses over. Wish all this stuff going on had been there before I moved two years ago!

It looks like future fabs will not need all the ancillary stuff; or as much. They'll extend toward Mink St. As will the parking lot at that angle. Leaving that triangle at the SW corner of Green Chapel and Mink as a detention/wetland area.

I very highly doubt the Peninsula hotel will be mid-grade. The company doing the branding did this hotel's branding: https://omfgco.com/work/the-cottonwood-hotel Rockbridge has been using the same language for both the North Market and Peninsula hotels. Here's the architect's page: https://www.jns.design/scioto-hotel "We conceived of the Junto as a multi-tiered, scaled structure occupying an entire block. The design offers varying spaces to discover, each with its own unique feel and the appearance of an “organically grown” development. From an internal mews, to activated alley use, public plazas and a connection to the riverfront, a sense of connectivity from east to west was central to the project, including continuity with the preserved historic school building at the core of CoSI. As we developed the hotel and retail space, we found inspiration in Franklinton’s rich history, from its agricultural riverside roots, to the whimsical design of a former train station, now owned and operated as a meeting hall and popular wedding venue by the local firemen’s union—the “River Rats”. From ground-floor boutiques and eateries, to the hotel lobby bar and a glassy second story ballroom, to individual suites and penthouse apartments, much of the design is oriented around sunrise and sunset views that span the city, Scioto river and the distant plains." That does not sound like a Hilton Garden Inn.

Owens Corning R&D in Granville and production in Newark checking in, too.

Based on rendering aerials it appears this initial fab will be bounded by Green Chapel Rd to the north, Mink St to the east, Clover Valley Rd to the west, and Miller Rd to the south. It's actually closer to Johnstown than New Albany. Here I have labeled with dots the Amazon data center (yellow), the FaceBook data center (green), the Google data center (blue), and the Amgen factory (purple).

Honda must be why Showa (now Hitachi-Astemo) and Ohashi are in Sunbury.

Airport authority outlines plans for new John Glenn terminal "On Thursday the authority finished taking bids for a master architect to design the terminal, and a document soliciting those bids outlines what the organization is looking for." "The airport authority wants a roughly 900,000 square foot structure with 35 to 40 narrow body gates (at least two for international flights) and a multi-story parking garage with around 5,000 spaces, according to a document soliciting bids." "The existing terminal will be demolished once the new one is operational, the document says." https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/columbus-regional-airport-authority-outlines-john-glenn-terminal-plans/6595458001/ Going to spend all that money to get an airport still significantly smaller than CVG and CLE? 🤔

It's a six unit townhome building.

Battery B and River & Rich had a baby!

The Hilton Garden Inn at the northwest corner of Sunbury and Morse: Look at that retaining wall!

50 mile radius from Public Square gives you 3,255,388.

That seems to be about a 40% job. Why not do a similar loop on the west side of 315 and tunnel under Bethel? Having to cross the 315 South off ramp, then Bethel, then the Olentangy River Road northbound right turn lane is not in the least bit pedestrian or bicyclist friendly; if not even dangerous.

What a mistake Ginther has been. You can bet Coleman would be pushing these people. Our city is becoming unnecessarily unaffordable.

When is the city going to overhaul its zoning?

Wow. Even seven feet taller than the three story houses was too tall? What a bunch of morons. You'd think you'd want a buffer like this along a road like Livingston.

Pizzuti wants to make the Giant Eagle a mixed-use property. I hope they go with a Market District Express like in Bexley. Whatever they do should be better than the strange store that is there now. Concepts to be presented for Whittier Street Giant Eagle "The owner of the Giant Eagle on Whittier Street near German Village plans to present concepts for the property Tuesday at the Parsons Avenue library. Representatives of the owner, the Pizzuti Companies, stressed that the Giant Eagle is still the tenant but that it’s 'important to share conceptual alternative uses for this site.'" https://www.dispatch.com/business/20200302/concepts-to-be-presented-for-whittier-street-giant-eagle

I have not been inside. That yard art has always intrigued me. Sometimes my walks take me down that way, and that's when I saw it for sale. The fenced in yard goes almost all the way to Rohr with a shed as well. However, the parcel ends well short of Rohr so if the city ever decided to widen Rohr or something they could cut into the yard. The path will probably lead to an extension of the Wirt Rd path they have. But yes, as far as the culture, it's always interesting walking back there at night. Very different feel.

From Reddit: A nice before for many projects. Scioto Peninsula, Gravity 2.0, River & Rich II, Cover My Meds, Graham Ford, and Mt Carmel.
