Explanation

BACKGROUND: Pursuant to ordinance 0381-2007, passed by Columbus City Council on March 12, 2007, the Columbus Department of Development applied for, and was awarded, a Clean Ohio grant of $3,000,000.00 from the Ohio Department of Development to perform environmental clean up at the former Columbus Coated Fabrics site in the Weinland Park Area of Columbus. The purpose of this legislation is to authorize an agreement between the Columbus Department of Development and the Ohio Department of Development to receive and administer the grant and to authorize Wagenbrenner Development Company to apply the grant funding toward the environmental cleanup at the project site.

The former Columbus Coated Fabrics property is located in the Weinland Park Neighborhood of Columbus at Fifth and Grant Avenues. The Columbus Department of Development has worked extensively with Campus Partners to acquire the site, perform initial phases of clean up and select a developer; the Wagenbrenner Development Company, to construct approximately 500 residential units at the site. The Columbus Department of Development, Campus Partners and the Wagenbrenner Development Company have worked extensively with Weinland Park residents to ensure the proposed development complements the neighborhood and area plans.

This legislation is submitted as an emergency to commence the Clean Ohio grant process immediately.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this legislation is provided by a Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund grant from the Ohio Department of Development in the amount of $3,000,000.00.
