Airsup

For the locations of the properties, I'm guessing businesses in the Project Cardinal area, and housing further east.

I've been talking to some of the larger land owners out that way, or people closely connected to them, and there will be some more large sale announcements in the near future. Hold on to your butts!

It's funny you said that. I haven't been out that way in probably 2 years, but I was at the Petco at Lennox last night. I walked out to my car, glanced up, and that monster completely took me by surprise - legitimately startled me. It was unexpected but oh so nice to see.

Now image looking down over those railings to see a bustling passenger train platform.

IMHO, that is the true gem of the fairgrounds.

Did a little snooping on the Ohio EPA site and found a slightly different than what we've seen site plan on the wetland permit. We can assume the dark lines are phase 1, and anything in light lines is CHIPS Act - gated plans. https://edocpub.epa.ohio.gov/publicportal/ViewDocument.aspx?docid=1757524

It's clearly that or a Home Alone Christmas party. "Columbus Library, come for the books, stay for the burlesque and buffet"

Oh, the sign is up still, but that doesn't really mean anything out here any more. They'll stay up until the NDA's are lifted and/or the auditors site is updated.

161/310 will be developed more densely and you'll see something like a JEDD along 37/161 for some development. North of that is flood plain country. The large tract of land you're talking about is more than likely not for sale any longer and under an NDA, and has been for some time. The owner of that land stopped returning calls to people, but before that his response to inquiries was never "yes it's for sale or no, it's not" but "what will you offer". That's the same response many of the other landowners gave or are giving now that turned out they were under NDA's and had already sold for all intents and purposes.

That is tame compared to what I hear on a daily basis out here. Another of my favorites is that Intel will be somehow bringing in Indian construction workers so Ohio crews won't get any of that work. I'm pretty sure that's now anything works. I also think that numbskull telling people that got his Indiana and India mixed up. I could spend hours talking about this nonsense.

Quite a handsome building hiding under all that veneer!

This is the same developer that did Broadmoor Commons on Broad/16 in eastern Pataskala. They have a nice looking product and will be a nice addition to the area.

I think that the Dispatch and the affiliated Newark Advocate are driving a lot of clicks and short term subscriptions due to these articles, so prepare to be buried with everything they can attach "Intel" to.

Testify! Countless missed and lost opportunities along Broadway. The increased development out this way is going to force that change one way or another. I'm waiting for the little business section on Main St/37 in old Alexandria to fire up.

Possibly, I don't get out that way much any longer, outside of a trip to Ikea if I'm feeling masochistic. I was always surprised it wasn't developed years ago, but then I remember the property developer that who used to own it.

And a little lower right than the loading area is a house that's still there that I once lived in before the Polaris Parkway extension through my then-backyard. Lots of fun concerts back then!

I love the irony or happy coincidence of a new baby-amphitheater rising from the ashes of the old amphitheater parking lot.

Sounds about a scammy as the carbon credits scheme. If they wanted to truly work on mitigating wetlands destruction, do it in the area affected and not in another county. There are 100's if not 1000's of acres in the nearby flood plains that they could buy and designate as a wetlands preserve. Creating those wetlands preserves would also make a lot of area people happy that are concerned about future development due to the protected greenspace it would create.

I used to walk that area on my lunches when I worked in the area and I think most of those residential buildings did have res units on the ground, many with their own door and small patio, so that's probably why. But I think the one completed on the north side of Nationwide had retail on the ground, so maybe those two are outliers.

And the "Ohio"block design will finally be complete and only enjoyed by those eyes in the skies.

And Columbus will be supplying the water to Intel, not Southwest Licking County Water and Sewer District. However, SWLCSW will be building a new treatment plant at 310 and Jug, and new towers along 161 on Patterson. Edit - treatment plant at 310 and Jersey Mills. Had the Jug on my mind from a previous post.

Those driveways have always reminded me of the ending of the Albert Brooks movie "Defending Your Life" when the tramways take off from purgatory to their destinations.

There's another large piece of land for sale at 37/161 @ $55k/acre, and a horse farm that sold on the southside of the highway. It's a poorly kept secret that an enormous amount of land between 37 and 310 has already purchased by some of the large players for some time and are sitting there under an NDA with the previous owners until the transfer happens with the auditor. Same playbook for what they did at the Intel site.

You missed the 2 for $2,000,000 next door.

The west side of 16 there is not in the village and the senior housing owns the other side that is in the village. And the biggest factor is it is flood plain. The active flood plain stretches from Granville west and consumes a lot of land preventing it from any real development. Raccoon Creek is a nightmare (I spend a small fortune on flood insurance because of it).
