Got a few from Jackie O's patio a couple hours ago. I have a feeling this is going to be a very popular place.

Few random ones from a little earlier at Bridge Park

Topiary Park Crossing

I should be up by there later today and again tomorrow morning. I'll try to snatch you a couple.

What's the location of this one?

Signage is up on Harmon Ave where the county plans to build the Franklin County Crisis Care Center An article in today's Dispatch suggests we should see dirt moving on site soon: "Franklin County, its Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Board and the Central Ohio Hospital Council broke ground in February on their new Mental Health and Addiction Crisis Center, 465 Harmon Ave. Located in South Franklinton, it's across from the Franklin County Children's Services building, south of Interstate 70. The nearly $60 million project remains on track for an expected 2025 opening, with officials in the process of finalizing paperwork and other elements within the next 30 days before gearing up for construction." https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/healthcare/2023/03/05/upcoming-columbus-area-health-center-projects-what-you-need-to-know/69940711007/

Couple shots from behind the BHP and the new parking garage next to it

Vertical construction started yesterday on the seventh building at the Buckstone Flats site & it looks like three more on site could go vertical soon.

I really like the energy on Oak. Lots of good stuff goin on there!

Work continues on the first Google Data Center along Parsons- Looks like work could start on the next one soon. and you can see it in the distance now from 23

Triumph on Oak

Couple quick ones from Jaeger Square

I was actually wondering if you were down there for the game, or just to get some construction pics... Hope it's a good game tonight!

We just missed you! We headed to Astor Park right after McKinley Manor!

McKinley Manor

Progress continues on the first building going up at the Columbus Castings site and vertical construction started on a second building on site yesterday

Here's the article on what to expect on site now through the end of 2023: "Plumbers and electricians will start on underground plumbing and electrical work that needs to be done on the two factories, called fabs, that Intel is building, according to Mike Knisley, secretary-treasurer of the Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Council. About 500 workers will be on the site starting this month (February), he estimated. Beginning this summer, the workforce will start to swell as construction goes vertical. Cranes and heavy machinery will be brought to the site as well. In Chandler, Arizona, where Intel broke ground in September 2021 for two additional factories, there are now about 30 cranes on site." https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2023/01/06/federal-aid-to-begin-flowing-to-semiconductor-business-in-2023/69760174007/

I recently read around 500 electricians started on site in early February. The same article mentioned they will start pouring the foundation in the spring.

Looked like they were going right into it!

Few more of the hospital tower- during a recent storm

Last week on Miller Rd, less than a 1/4 mile from the Intel site, crews built a small gravel lot... When i was there again Wednesday, these guys were gathering there. And they were just starting to move dirt on this particular site. When I say "just starting to move dirt", I mean it literally. I happened to catch this piece of machinery making the very first trip around the site. This last one is from the Clover Valley Rd edge of the Intel site, looking toward 62. Miller Rd is on the left where the utility poles are. The site where they were just starting to move dirt is in the distance. The area in the foreground, up to the mounds of dirt, is where Clover Valley will be widened to in the coming months.

I was thinking the same thing. I can remember living on Schrock Rd in the late 90's wondering (and kind of hoping) if it would ever be tore down.

I was just about to post the same map with the following, determined by City Council, set by City Code... 3359.03 - Downtown District Boundary. The downtown district is that area indicated on the official city zoning map and bounded as follows: Beginning at the intersection of Interstate 70 and the western bank of the Scioto River; Thence northeasterly along the north/west bank of the Scioto River to the first railroad right-of-way; Thence northerly along said railroad right-of-way to the first intersecting railroad right-of-way; Thence westerly along said railroad right-of-way to the intersection of State Route 315; Thence northerly along State Route 315 to the northbound exit ramp to Goodale Boulevard; Thence following the exit ramp to the northernmost point of its arc; Thence easterly approximately 300' to the southbound ramp from State Route 315 to Interstate 670; Thence southeasterly along the ramp to Interstate 670; Thence easterly along Interstate 670 to the intersection of Interstate 71; Thence southerly along Interstate 71 to the intersection of Interstate 70; Thence westerly along Interstate 70 to the place of beginning.

Vertical construction has started on the new Gahanna HS Football Stadium, next to where the new high school will be built

Crews were running new power lines along Green Chapel today ahead of the upcoming widening projects around the Intel site
