A federal bankruptcy judge has approved the sale of the century-old Columbus Castings foundry to a New York-based corporate liquidation firm. The new owners, a subsidiary of Reich Brothers Incorporated, say they plan to build a mixed-use development on the site of the south side foundary. It's not clear when that will happen. The firm says it will employ an undisclosed number of foundary workers during the transition and will hold a job fair for the nearly 800 laid-off workers. Columbus Castings laid off the workers in May when its parent company, Constellation Enterprises, filed for bankruptcy protection.
