COTA to buy Downtown Greyhound station for $9.5 million for redevelopment, transit center https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2021/07/21/cota-buy-greyhound-station-redevelopment-transit-center/8038610002/ The Central Ohio Transit Authority is planning to spend $9.5 million to buy the Greyhound bus terminal in Columbus so it can demolish it to make way for a multi-use redevelopment that will include a central COTA bus center. Greyhound bus service will move to COTA's terminal in the Columbus Commons parking garage between East Rich and Main streets, likely by fall. The COTA board is scheduled to vote on the purchase at its July 28 meeting. The property is already under contract, said Terry Foegler, COTA's chief development officer. City leaders believe the 2.45-acre site where the Greyhound station sits at 111 E. Town St. in the heart of Downtown is better suited to another, better use, although that hasn't been determined yet.
