There is a development proposed that falls central to all of our downtown neighborhoods at Columbus & Barrow. The Van Vorst Neighborhood Association will be having the BNE Group speak tonight regarding their proposal for an 18 story building, currently zoned for 7 stories.

Tuesday May 19th  @7:00pm
Barrow Mansion  83 Wayne Street
~Free & Open to all~

This is from the Van Vorst newsletter:

The BNE Group is working on a proposed project for the Columbus Corner Redevelopment Plan (RDP).  This RDP has specific requirements regarding the rehabilitation of existing Historic resources and new construction located on Barrow Street within the Historic District.  Their proposal includes an 18 story residential tower in the Mixed Use portion of the RDP, which exceeds the allowable 7 stories (80') permitted by the current RDP.  Since a project of this scale will impact not only the immediate block, but also the surrounding blocks located within the Van Vorst Park Historic District, and would also require amendments to the current RDP, BNE is invited to receive community input/comment.
