The Weinland Park Neighborhood Plan (PDF) was adopted by Columbus City Council in July of 2006, and the area has seen some slow and steady progress since then. Changes to the neighborhood may start coming much more quickly according to a Dispatch article today (“$15 million pledged to kick-start Weinland Park area“) that provides information about the redevelopment efforts of the newly founded “Weinland Park Collaborative”.
The group plans to build new homes and renovate old homes in the Weinland Park neighborhood over the next few years. Additionally, existing homeowners will be able to apply for home improvement grants through MORPC. The Wagenbrenner Development Company’s “Columbus Coated Fabrics” project is also mentioned as a part of the new push for the area, which has long been one of the bigger pieces in revamping the area.
