This week marks an exciting step for the Creekside District! The Gahanna Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) is moving forward with demolition of several long-vacant, dilapidated buildings along Mill Street, an important move in preparing the area for the first phase of Creekside Reimagined.
Fencing is now being installed, with building demolition set to begin this week. This lays the groundwork for a $100 million private mixed-use development that will bring new housing, restaurant and retail spaces, a boutique hotel, and a supportive parking structure to Creekside – helping to create a lively, welcoming, and thriving downtown district.
The buildings slated for demolition, all owned by the Gahanna CIC, are located at:
- 152 Mill St.
- 153-155 Mill St.
- 161-169 Mill St.
- 170 Mill St.
Demolition is funded by a grant awarded to the CIC from the Ohio Department of Development and Franklin County Community Improvement Corporation.
This project will occur in two phases, beginning with building demolition, followed by pavement removal. Overall, work is expected to last approximately six (6) weeks, weather permitting.
What you should know during demolition:
- Please avoid parking on CIC-owned property
- Streets and sidewalks will remain open
- No road closures are expected, though minor traffic slowdowns may occur
- Work will take place during permitted hours. Some construction noise and dust are expected, with dust control measures in place.
