Our Future is Bigger Than Us

There’s a big buzz about where The Fort is headed. A $350 million dollar buzz, full of development plans for the future. But that future is bigger than us, reaching beyond our commercial campus. In addition to our own vision for the The Fort’s properties, we’re not the only ones seeing potential on Columbus’ South Side. The city is fully aware of the buzz, and partnering with us and others. For example, the Rapid 5 plan that connects us to our neighbors with expanded trails, waterways and parks. And the Metro Parks’ bike path proposal that connects us to Scioto Audubon Park.

For more info, see this story at Business First. And we’ve shared all these stories in a new site about our Steelton Village neighborhood, steeltonvillage.com. Take a look to learn how we got this far, meet our neighbors, and read updates about the neighborhood’s development.

And to all of you who believed that an old fire truck factory might have new life, even expand into a neighborhood anchor, thank you. We’re grateful for your enthusiasm and encouragement. And we’re committed to being wise stewards of our neighborhood’s history and future.
