A historic Columbus trolley-barn complex near Franklin Park will become the Trolley District, featuring a brewpub, restaurant and market, The Columbus Dispatch reports. The state awarded $2 million in Historic Preservation Tax Credits to the development of the site, which “is made up of six brick buildings built between 1882 and 1920 that once served the city’s electric trolley system,” according to the article. Developer Brad DeHays plans a $14 million project to convert three of the six brick buildings into a brewpub, restaurant and market; he expects to find more tenants for the remaining buildings. His plan also includes a $15-million, 102-apartment complex across the street from the former trolley barns. For more, read the full article.
