We used to live, quite literally, right around the corner from this before we bought our first house in Groveport. That entire lot is heavily wooded, they're going to annihilate 25 acres of trees next to one of the worst floodplains in central Ohio for a moderate amount of tiny apartments. Housing is housing, but it really sucks that they're doing it there and not on one of the large plots of scrubland nearby.Looks like there are already paths throughout, would've been nicer to see it become a park and connect up to the trail on other side of Shannon.

Not far SE/Groveport/Canal area.Also, agreed about the forested location, why couldn't they put it at the corner of the two roads? That intersection could use some development anyway.

Would have been nice to connect it to the Blacklick Trail. This whole area is going to be built up over the next 20 years though. I'm just hoping the 1800s farmhouse across the street from this development will survive. 40 minutes ago, PrestoKinetic said:Shannon & Winchester Pike is near Rickenbacker?Yea I thought that was funny. It's a 15-20 minute drive from Rickenbacker.

There are farms fields on three sides of it, and one of them is on the creek side of it so that should be even more vulnerable to flooding.
