That's because those very people who live in these urban cores are generally younger people. Once they get older, get married and start families, they quickly realize that having a house, land and privacy, is a vastly better lifestyles. That will NEVER change.

Newark/Heath/Granville/Hanover....the Greater Newark Area is around 65-70K

The link to the Census Bureau, that has that 49,934 was released in April of 2020. I have known about this number for 16 months. Can't put it much clearer for you. But i digress...It doesn't really bother me as i know Newark is actually over 50K currently. No need for you to freak out.

Is Newark's official census number 49,934 or not? That EXACT number was already released 16 months ago by Census Bureau. I don't know how to put it much clearer for you?

Lol its not "freaking out". The official census numbers released yesterday are the exact same numbers from the 2019 count that was release in April of 2020. I just find that to be very strange.

I simply don’t understand the 49,934 number. That was the number that was released in April 2020 for the 19’ estimate. So that number is 2 years old. Newark is certainly over 50k at this point. So weird!!

That number cant be right for Newark....They had the same number 16 months ago???

I just looked, this was the estimate from April of 2020....are you sure this is the correct number?

Wow....so they have been overestimating Newark? It has been over 50k for the last two estimates. Wow....

Ill be curious if cities like Newark grew faster than anticipated and gained some of these people?

Can anybody tell me the official population total for Newark? Thanks!!

I stumbled across this information recently. I don't know how old this is, or if this project has changed hands to this Gossman Group, but their plans for Downtown Newark have been making the rounds around here lately. It seems like a revised plan from the previous Northpoint Architecture plans? Anybody know anything more about this? This would be a pretty awesome development as well...both plans look incredible to me and would make a tremendous impact on Downtown Newark. https://gossmangroup.com/project/courthouse-square/

I wouldn't be surprised if Newark is over 51k at this point. With the 5 new housing developments breaking ground soon, Newark could be on the way to 52-55k in the next 5-10 years.

Its pretty remarkable right? Newark has positioned itself to have a great decade ahead. The infrastructure investments, development and new housing developments over the last 20 years have really been a great thing to witness. More great things are on the horizon for the entire area as well.

There wont be any rezoning as this land is already zoned for single family. Hopefully this gets approved and we can get some dirt moving. The development would be in the yellow area.

Now we are changing the stadium too? Maybe they are paying for it with all of the new ****dians gear people will have to buy now?

Awesome!!! I hope that the future buildings go higher.

I have been wanting to respond to this for a few days, but was out of commission and unable to do so. This is amazing news!!! I talked with a couple of restaurant/bar owners about this and the plans that have yet to surface out of this are incredible and that's all i can say at the moment. The renderings for this look absolutely beautiful. I cant explain to you how proud i am of this city. Newark had a vision, a plan for that vision and put it into action. The positive impact of this and the momentum this has built throughout the entire Greater Newark Area has been felt everywhere. Newark/Heath/Granville are great places to be right now. Before: After:

Every time i see pictures of post-scioto greenway project, i always marvel at how much healthier the water looks. My goodness what a difference. I mean, the reflections are absolutely beautiful.

This is an amazing stadium. I will admit, the seating turned out much better than i ever imagined. It has grown on me to the point that i LOVE it!!! What a palace!

Does anybody know if they are going to rearrange the river bed so that water flows beneath all of the bridge? Looks a bit off to me. Few more pics... This place is an absolute GEM folks...The walk up to the stadium looks freaking amazing!!! Lastly, it looks like the smoke stack on the old electric building has been painted Black

I believe they had a watch party last night for the match against ATX. So i would assume so. Thats why they built the bar too right? My recollection was that, the bar was going to be open, even on non-match nights? Somebody please correct me if i am wrong though.

Columbus needs an iconic Skyscraper so badly. One that is 20-30 floors taller than any of the current ones. It just does. A focal point skyscraper would enhance the skyline to a whole new level in my opinion. We need an icon...badly!!!

This picture is simply the most eye opening when it comes to the possibility of the final phase of the AD. Just think about the possibilities!!! The stadium is like an island in a sea of dirt....prime real estate. I for one think that the remaining buildout of the AD has been completely undervalued. There is SOOOOO much room for development. Like i said a few posts up, now would be a great time to announce any current and future plans. This area could simply be incredible 5 years from now. Cant wait!!! Just look at all that potential. Blank canvas....

x1000....with the stadium so close to being finished, i for one am surprised that there hasn't been any news about the next phases of development, or any new master plans that are being developed. Seems like now would be a great time to announce a new master plan and layout of the future of the AD. Keep the buzz going....
