Hilliard area residents decry apartment complex on Dublin Road “A proposed market-rate apartment development along Dublin Road just south of Hayden Run Road in Norwich Township near Hilliard has stirred up a whirlwind of opposition among neighbors who say it doesn't fit in an area of single-family homes. Some of those same single-family homes go for upwards of $500,000 in nearby Hilliard between Dublin Road and the Scioto River. And the opposition could be another indication of what may happen across the region as central Ohio struggles with a housing shortage while companies and communities search for sites for development. The developer revised plans this week. Originally, it had planned to build 256 units, including four-story buildings, but changed them "after reviewing community feedback, design, and engineering aspects," according to an email from Daniel van Hoogstraten, a spokesman for the developer, a new company called MYKO Development of Columbus. There would be 19 apartment buildings on 14.7 acres in Norwich Township. The developer is asking the city of Columbus to annex the property, which would need a zoning change for the apartments to be built. The site at 4723, 4747 and 4781 Dublin Road is now occupied by a house and other structures, including a white barn.” https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2023/05/10/hilliard-area-residents-decry-apartment-complex-on-dublin-road/70178554007/

May 15, 20232 yr NEXT: Downtown Columbus as a Solar City The energy company Savion would like to erect the Oak Run Solar Project, one of the largest solar farms in the country on farmland in Madison County, land that is apparently owned in part by Bill Gates. This is welcome news, for we should indeed install more solar panels and transition quickly to a solar energy ecosystem. While we may applaud the Savion effort, these solar farms exact a cost. In some ways they are inefficient and wasteful, taking up farmland that might be used for productive purpose. “This is how it typically goes with solar arrays. We build them on open space rather than in developed areas. That is, they overwhelmingly occupy croplands, arid lands and grasslands, not rooftops or parking lots, according to a global inventory published last month in Nature. In the U.S., for instance, roughly 51% of utility-scale solar facilities are in deserts; 33% are on croplands; and 10% are in grasslands and forests. Just 2.5% of U.S. solar power comes from urban areas.” – Richard Conniff, Yale Environment 360 One can see the logic of placing solar arrays in deserts, but nearly half of such projects are built on croplands, grasslands and forests, which seems unnecessarily wasteful.

May 15, 20232 yr I understand the idea but no solar panel array should be built over an existing parking lot downtown. That would just create excuses to keep lots. As we've beaten to death here, the city just needs to pony up and make it difficult for land owners to want to keep surface lots. I'd have to dig it up but before CU got rid of forums, I did a bit of research and number crunching for Columbus, specifically addressing parking decks as beiing the most sensible low hanging fruit. And as part of that, the city would work with the entities that be to build solar arrays on all the parking decks and would mandate that any new deck would 1. Be built capable of upward expansion and 2. Have a solar array on top. The the Arena District deck tops alone are similar acreage to the average solar farm. That doesn't include the Front Street garage Corridor or the Columbus Commons deck that is over 4 acres alone. Another similar project is urban vertical farms. The potential is insane once you dig in to it but the leaders here rely a little too much on the developers rather than pushing hard for ambitipus sustainable changes.

More below: https://columbusunderground.com/next-downtown-columbus-as-a-solar-city-ds1/ In the solar farm in Madison County thing they are wrong. There is an abundance of cropland in Madison County-over 400 square miles of it-and a good amount of what is being lost to this solar farm is not in use as farmland. Also, once these panels are in they are in. They will not need the soil disturbing care that planting crops causes, nor will they be draining pesticides into the Darby Creeks. The land around the creeks should be de-comissioned from farming as that activity near the creeks is problematic for them. I say this as someone who can walk 200 yards and be in one of the Darby Creeks. I had this same discussion with that David guy that used to post here. And lets not forget the benefits of renewable energy. The other point-about not placing them on surface lots that can be developed, is a better argument, especially considering using them in denser urban areas. *This solar farm will be about the same size as the city of Upper Arlington I believe-about ten square miles or so?

Here's some of that article: Starlab - Ohio State opens new terrestrial science park devoted to space research "Students, researchers and leaders from The Ohio State University as well as business and community leaders recently helped open the temporary home of the George Washington Carver Science Park’s (GWCSP) Starlab terrestrial analog facility. The lab, located in the AE Building on the Columbus campus, marks the launch of the first-ever science park devoted to space research. The space park is a collaboration between Voyager Space, The Ohio State University, the State of Ohio, JobsOhio and One Columbus, and will house a replica laboratory of the Starlab space station developed by Nanoracks and associated facilities, enabling researchers to prepare, evaluate, validate and test spaceflight experiments, and conduct parallel research on the ground. The collaboration between researchers across the university as well as in government and industry makes the new science park an exciting opportunity. “This has opened an entirely new frontier for exploration, research, education and fulfillment of key national objectives.” In the future, the George Washington Carver Science Park will operate in a stand-alone facility on the Ohio State Aerospace and Air Transportation Campus, home to the university airport, Ohio State’s Aerospace Research Center, Knowlton Executive Flight Terminal and Education Center, and a range of corporate, government and private aviation and aerospace activities. Horack said the grand opening was the start of a new space age that would include Ohio State at the center of new research and innovation. “Today we’re marking the beginning of a decades-long journey that will transform the landscape of Ohio State, the state of Ohio and the world through the pursuit of social, economic and educational quality of life outcomes that all leverage commercial space flight.” Full story here: https://ocj.com/2023/03/ohio-state-opens-new-terrestrial-science-park-devoted-to-space-research/
