The only reason I knew this was because I had to drop a college girlfriend off there to watch a performance for who knows what class.

These data centers require constant maintenance and are changing quite a bit. I won’t get into details to bore people, but our local contractors who have national footprints and local footprints have to employ other people so it is ancillary jobs that are created. Yes, they may only say 30 but they probably employ 100+ if you include contractors.

No this is honestly one of the weirdest and least appealing “redevelopments” that I can remember. To quote my dad, this development reminds me of “trying to fit 10lbs of sh*t into a 5lb bag.”

Not necessarily, this technically is mixed use considering the hotel, gas station and two food options. This is also desperately needed in that area as workers don’t have any options besides the next exit west and Hilliard Rome. Not the type of development we’d like to see at Grandview Ave & 33, but not a terrible project for the area it’s in.

Really wish they could bury every overhead line as well. It would basically just be an additional pipeline and would help secure the grid from Mother Nature, etc.

Northland/Morse/161 never had a business presence like Chase brings to Polaris. While I somewhat agree this is absolutely necessary for the regions growth. Not everyone wants to live in the urban core and that’s ok. I can’t imagine what central Ohio is going to look like in 10 years. There is housing going up in a lot of traditional exurbs like Mount Vernon, Zanesville, Chillicothe and London. Even reaching out further to Mansfield, Ashland. It’s a great time to be in the state of Ohio.

They’re building a new exit… not that it’ll help much but it will at minimum slightly improve

Couldn’t agree more, something in the background going on for sure.

I agree, want to see the best come here regardless. But many on this forum simply want it to fail, period. To me they’re some of the most asinine takes I’ve ever read. If you want such a boom to our collective economy to fail then just leave the area.

Rallying for this projects downfall is just weird to me.

I think you would be surprised, idk how long the taxiway will be but I’m willing to bet it’ll cost at least $10-$20mil.

They ran with the Reuters story, this is very similar to what happened with Google locally and less than two weeks later they announced they were just diverting it to the south side complex. Just lazy journalism honestly.

This might be the fastest moving project in the city. Impressive considering the weather.

*or 270… which a lot of people do use coming from the North and South to bypass downtown Doing that on the western side of the outerbelt shows a lot of growth

Kids are at school, aftercare, daycare, etc as well. I would say it’s 50/50 for the average family. But really I’m just talking about something that we’re all exposed to regardless of where we live.
