Reynoldsburg undertaking $31-million renovation and expansion of service complex "The city of Reynoldsburg is embarking on a $31-million renovation and expansion of its service building to better serve residents and city employees as the suburb on Columbus' east side continues to grow. The project will consolidate the city's street, parks and recreation, water/wastewater, and stormwater departments into an expanded service building at 7806 E. Main St. that's currently home to the city's street department, Reynoldsburg Mayor Joe Begeny said. Once the project is complete, the East Main Street site will have a new administrative building, maintenance bay, fuel station, and sufficient storage space. Site preparation work is ongoing with construction to start in the spring, Begeny said, adding that the project should be completed in late spring or early summer 2026." https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2024/12/16/reynoldsburg-spending-31-million-to-renovate-expand-service-building/76678272007/
