New Parking Garage, Greenspace Planned For Scioto Peninsula

The City of Columbus is leasing 56-acres of the Scioto Peninsula to the Riversouth Authority to continue years worth of redevelopment work in the area. Matt Lutz with Capitol South Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation says plans call for a parking garage and a park.

Capitol South previously built two parking garages for the city- the Riversouth garage, as well as the 4th and Elm garage. City Auditor Hugh Dorrian says the bonds sold to fund the garages are backed by the city's income tax set-aside. The lease agreement was approved by Columbus City Council on Monday.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
