The 550-acre project that could be coming for a town outside Columbus
PLAIN CITY, Ohio (WCMH) — Plain City could soon annex about 550 acres for a business park that aims to increase economic development and job opportunities for the area.
Columbus-based Highland Real Estate’s proposal calls for the mixed-use district to be named “Creekview Commerce Park,” and built off of U.S. 42 between Rickard and Converse roads. In early stages, the development was reviewed earlier this month by Plain City’s council and planning and zoning commission.
Plans call for Creekview to be developed in two phases, with the first spanning about 330 acres and the second roughly 215 acres. The park would provide “shovel-ready sites” for business development, ample job opportunities for Plain City residents, substantial income tax revenue for the village and allow for commercial uses to serve the area’s growing population.
The developer’s proposal lists a number of businesses that could call Creekview home, like auto and home supply stores, banks and credit unions, child day care services, convenience retail, gas stations, grocery stores, hotels, manufacturing, restaurants and more.
