January 12, 201213 yr A look ahead to Dublin's 2012 municipal agenda from Columbus Local News - Dublin Edition: New parks, road work on city's agenda for 2012
April 13, 201213 yr There also was some big development news for Dublin outside the Bridge Street Corridor Planning Area this week. About two miles west of that planning area, Ohio University purchased approximately 15 acres of land containing two office buildings near the intersection of Rt. 33 and Post Road. Buckeye Check Cashing and the Dublin Entrepreneurial Center are currently in the existing three and four-story buildings at 7001 & 7003 Post Road totaling approximately 100,000 sq. ft. purchased along with the 15 acre property. Apparently this development is many years in the making - but only came together in recent months. The City of Dublin owns almost 100 acres surrounding the OU-purchased land on Post Road. Dublin amassed the land with long-range plans to attract research and/or biomedical projects. Last year, the Columbus-based Osteopathic Heritage Foundations pledged $105 million over 16 years to Ohio University for the purpose of creating its own medical college and to support expanded research and treatment of diabetes. Officials said the first $29 million of the gift would be used to buy land, build a medical college in central Ohio and develop its campus, to be called the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. As part of the Ohio University land purchase, the City of Dublin will give the university two tracts surrounding it - totaling about 71 acres. As part of an agreement that will going to Dublin's City Council, both OU and Dublin would have a say in deciding how that land is developed and would share in the infrastructure development costs. This land is noted as Subarea One and Subarea Two in the site map shown below. Dublin would keep about 25 acres fronting the Rt. 33 highway, with an eye toward development that would support the medical college. Both Dublin and OU officials seemed to think this would include a hotel/conference center in that location, with work on a hotel beginning as soon as 2014. This land is noted as Subarea Three in the site map below. OU officials say the medical college is expected to open with at least 50 students in fall 2014. The university’s plans for the land surrounding the new medical college would include a day-care center, some residential housing, arts and cultural facilities and research laboratories by 2017. Below, in addition to the site map of the land tracts, are three recent articles from the Columbus Dispatch and Columbus Business First about the new Ohio University medical college to be located in Dublin. Dispatch: Ohio University, Dublin work out details for medical college Dispatch: Dublin planning to donate land for medical college - City would give Ohio University 71 acres off Post Rd. near Rt. 33 Business First: Dublin to donate land for Ohio University medical campus under proposed deal
April 14, 201213 yr Now people will really start thinking OU is in Columbus. I remember when the signs on I-70 at 256 went up for OU-Pickerington and OU-Lancaster they just said "Ohio University Next Exit" and people from outside the area started telling me they thought it was really neat that both OU and Ohio State were in Columbus. I think they changed the signs later.

What Dublin calls its West Innovation District currently is 1,100 acres that is mostly farmland, with the four buildings of Ohio University's medical campus at its center. If plans pan out over the next 30 to 50 years, that acreage could contain research facilities, light manufacturing, offices, apartments and parks. For folks who relish planning at that scale, this might be the last chance to do so in Dublin. ... The land stretches west from Avery Road and Route 33, with Post Road on the north and Shier-Rings on the south, stopping at what essentially is Dublin's final frontier: the limits of its water and sewer service under agreements with Columbus.

Dublin will hear a plan this month to build a 80-foot-tall "bell tower" behind the parking lot at St. John’s Lutheran Church at 6135 Rings Road, in a design that closely matches the church's existing bell tower. But no bells will chime. This is a "stealth phone tower" that Verizon Wireless wants to utilize to boost service in the suburb. The "brick" structure actually would be a composite foam enclosing the cellphone tower. Remember those giant fake pine trees that really were cellphone towers? This would be a fancier faux tower.

May 18, 20187 yr The City of Dublin has purchased an office building at 5555 Perimeter Drive near Coffman Park to house a relocated city hall in a move that would create a centralized municipal complex. The move is part of a long-term plan for a civic government complex centered around Coffman Park, along Emerald Parkway just northwest of I-270. The 5555 Perimeter Drive building was designed and built for Delta Energy, which moved there in 2011, features energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, motion-activated lighting and recycled materials to fit out its interior. That company was acquired last year by California utility holding company Edison International. Since then, Delta Energy relocated to a Dublin Metro Center office building and has sought to offload its old real estate. Built for $5.2 million, the 20,000-square-foot 5555 Perimeter Drive building sits on the only land in the 108-acre Coffman Park area the city does not own. The map below from Business First shows the 5555 Perimeter Drive site in yellow, with the remaining land in red all city-owned. Below is a view of the building from Emerald Parkway: Below is a view of the building's main entrance from the parking lot side of the property:
