Development Projects

Wilson Bridge Road Corridor
The City of Worthington is strategically planning for future
development, redevelopment and enhancements to the Wilson Bridge Road
Corridor, one of the City's primary economic centers. Over the past
several years, a steering committee made up of area residents, business
owners,
community groups and City leaders has engaged in a variety of
initiatives aimed at identifying a plan for the corridor.
The resulting Wilson Bridge Road Corridor Study recommends the need to promote the redevelopment of the Wilson
Bridge Road Corridor into a mixed use area that will generate new
economic growth within the City. These recommendations are intended to foster
development that strengthens land use and economic value; encourages a
mix of uses; enhances livability of the area; augments pedestrian and
bicycle connections; and promotes construction of high-quality buildings
and public spaces that create and sustain long-term economic vitality.

350 West Wilson Bridge Road

|
The building at 350 West Wilson Bridge Road was originally developed as part of the Officescape development on the north side of West Wilson Bridge Road, which also includes properties at 400, 450 and 500 West Wilson Bridge Road. This building, constructed in 1976, was home to notable companies such as Mettler Toledo and Corecomm. The property has been vacant for many years and the new property owner would like to completely renovate and modernize the building, while redeveloping the site to accommodate approximately 53,000 square feet of modern medical office space. The Central Ohio Urology Group intends to move its medical offices into the first floor of the building. More Information

The Kilbourne Memorial building initially served as the City’s first
public library. The library was constructed in 1927 with a gift from
Mary Deshler, the granddaughter of Worthington Founder James Kilbourne.
It later served as the Worthington School Administration offices. The
City of Worthington purchased the building in 2006 in order to ensure
its long-term preservation. The City has invested in a number of repairs
to the building. With the help of a state grant, major renovations were
completed to make the building fully accessible.

|
Lifestyle Communities has come forward and is
working on a plan to purchase the 40+ acre United Methodist Children's
Home property for development.

The project will consist of a two-story, 20,000 square foot, state-of-the-art medical facility.

Worthington, as it will bring much-needed improvements designed to
decrease congestion and improve traffic flow and safety of the
