Developers for 11 Central Ohio projects have applied for the state’s new “transformational mixed-use development tax credits [TMUD]” program that “provides tax credits to help finance new construction or renovation of vacant buildings in mixed-use projects that are expected to catalyze development and the economies in their areas,” Columbus Business First reports. Teams behind 36 projects in Ohio applied for a combined $318 million. Among the Central Ohio projects, Thrive Cos. submitted for its Grandview Crossing project, seeking $6.3 million in credits, and also its redevelopment of the former Mount Carmel West site in Franklinton, asking for $6 million. Developers of the North Market tower redevelopment are seeking $34 million in tax credits. Arlington Gateway developers requested $3.8 million; Bernstein Co. asked for about $6.7 million for the Continental Centre downtown. Casto, the Kelley Cos. and the Robert Weiler Co. applied for $13 million for the Kroger Bakery project. Additional projects applying for the tax credits include the Front & Fulton project at the former L. Hoster Brewing Co. building, the Golden Bear redevelopment in Upper Arlington, the High North redevelopment of the Shops at Worthington Place, The Galaxy at Polaris, and the new Tru Hotel by Hilton in Delaware.
