Hello, Wednesday! Chelsea here.

Suburbs around the Columbus area are changing fast. With Dublin’s Bridge Park and Gahanna’s Creekside area, a new downtown hub is headed to Grove City. The town is about to get a major upgrade, with a $60 million plan that aims to transform its downtown into an exciting hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The new Broadway Live development will include a mix of residential, retail, and green space, all designed to create a modern town center that fosters community and growth. The renderings are out, giving us a sneak peek at these massive changes.
