    Gahanna is celebrating the rebirth of its original downtown with the formal opening of the city’s multimillion-dollar Creekside project.

    The mixed-use development features 100,000 square feet of retail and office space, 71 loft condominiums and an underground parking garage.

    Gahanna Development Director Sadicka White said she’s ecstatic over the completion of the project, which also includes public plazas, waterfalls, a lagoon and an outdoor stage.

    “It has come from an idea, from a vision, to a reality,” White said. “It’s a new and vibrant experience for Creekside that is just the beginning of our downtown.”

    Through Sunday, patrons can take part in a grand-opening celebration featuring live music, paddleboat rides and garden tours, according to CreeksideGahanna.com.
