A key commercial lane in Delaware will take a significant step forward this spring when Grady Memorial Hospital begins building its replacement campus.
Delaware Health Center, a two-story, 60,000-square-foot ambulatory center and medical office building, will rise near Rt. 23 between Cheshire and Peachblow roads. OhioHealth, which owns Grady Memorial, said it has hired Daimler Group to build the center, which eventually will be joined by a hospital that will replace Grady Memorial.
Delaware has been planning for years to transform the location into a southern gateway to the city. It is orchestrating additions to a north-south route called Glenn Parkway so that it eventually will link Rt. 23 with Rts. 36/37.
Other projects on the drawing board near the future hospital site include a new Columbus State Community College campus, a Wal-Mart, a Byers Toyota dealership and a development by Stavroff Interests that could include 500,000 square feet of retail space and acreage for apartments and condos.
