January 29, 20169 yr Here’s the property Gahanna is offering for Heartland Bank’s new HQ By Evan Weese, Staff Reporter - Columbus Business First Updated: December 31, 2015, 9:56am EST Gahanna hopes to keep the headquarters of Heartland Bank, and its more than 80 workers, by offering up a shovel-ready site next to the city’s Golf Depot driving range and golf course. The 12-branch community bank had planned to move its headquarters to Columbus’ original airport terminal and hangar, having outgrown its offices at 850 N. Hamilton Road in Gahanna. It scrapped the costlier-than-expected rehabilitation effort, however, and Gahanna has re-entered the business-attraction competition. Gahanna officials say Heartland is considering a city-owned property at 785 Science Boulevard, a 3.57-acre site on the northeast corner of Golf Depot at Science Boulevard and Tech Center Drive. ... “The city of Gahanna has partnered with the private sector to complete extensive building and site plans to accommodate a 50,000-square-foot Class A office building on the property,” Development Director Anthony Jones said in an email.

November 28, 20222 yr Gahanna's Crescent at Central Park development gaining more housing, medical offices More housing and medical offices are coming to Gahanna's Crescent at Central Park development after city council authorized a revised agreement with the development team. At a meeting last week, Gahanna City Council voted to approve changes to an original agreement with CP Crescent LLC, which is tied to Casto, and Crescent at Central Park LLC, which is led by Andre Buckles. The agreement allows for expanded medical office and residential use, as well as reduced commercial space within the development site. “The Crescent at Central Park is a significant economic project for our city," Gahanna Mayor Laurie Jadwin said. "Including modern housing within this growing modern medical campus ensures a balanced economic development approach that will add both quality job opportunities to the economy as well as needed housing solutions to address and support workforce needs.” More below: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2022/11/28/gahanna-crescent-at-central-park-revised-agreement.html "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 28, 20222 yr As much as I like to see infill within the outerbelt, I'm not sure how wise it is to put housing directly under the approach to Runway 28R into CMH. I can see a lot of complaints from residents coming in anytime it becomes the sole runway in use when 10R/28L needs maintenance or if increases in late evening/early morning operations happen.
January 30, 20232 yr Expansion of Gahanna’s Creekside District Moving Forward “Gahanna’s Creekside District, which is slated for major redevelopment, will face the demolition phase in the second half of this year—so long as everything goes according to plan. There are a number of boxes to be checked first, including public engagement, finalizing plans and reaching agreements. Construction would then follow. Four acres of property within the Creekside District, along Mill Street and North High Street, have been purchased by the Gahanna Community Improvement Corporation (CIC), a 501c4 organization that helps to facilitate economic development and initiatives city officials wish to pursue, but is separate from the city itself. Jadwin said that city leaders are still in negotiations with a potential developer. Once a deal is finalized, the company’s identity will be announced. The hope is that all parties will have signed on the dotted line by the end of February.” https://columbusunderground.com/expansion-of-gahannas-creekside-district-moving-forward-ca1/

If I remember the floorplans correctly, you'll be able to walk from inside the third floor of the school into the press box, and from the first floor into the locker rooms. That's pretty cool to me. I'm a fan of the uber compact school and/or athletic facilities. Like Cincinnati's vs Ohio State's. Although, Ohio State is starting to pack more in to the athletics district.

March 14, 20232 yr Well, Sheetz… Gahanna and New Albany residents square off against proposed Sheetz near roundabout “[R]esidents of Gahanna and New Albany were the latest to fire back against plans for the latest Sheetz at the southwest corner Morse and Johnstown roads, during a March 8 planning commission meeting, citing public safety, aesthetics, traffic issues and a litany of small details. The 6,131-square-foot store would be on 4.2 acres owned by The New Albany Company. It would have 43 parking spaces, 16 fueling stations and 74 trees and shrubs surrounding it, according to planners. It would walking distance to a Goddard School, The Barn At Rocky Fork restaurant and High Bank Distillery Gahanna, all desired amenities. Residents, however, say the Sheetz project simply doesn't fit here. "We're going to have strangers in the neighborhood next door to a children's school," New Albany resident Carole Scherker said, referring to the Goddard School. "No matter how many fences they put in, no matter how many trees they put in, it's going to look like a circus tent," she said of the stations with their bright logos and canopies to keep motorists dry.” https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2023/03/14/gahanna-residents-rail-against-proposed-sheetz/70004369007/
