COLUMBUS DISPATCH BUILDING STATE HISTORIC TAX CREDIT
Columbus, Ohio
WHY
The Columbus Dispatch Building served as the headquarters of Columbus’ premiere daily newspaper until it was sold to GateHouse Media in 2015. The building is not only architecturally significant but also prominently positioned on Capital Square, across the street from the Ohio Statehouse. After the newspaper was sold and its headquarters moved to another building, the Columbus Dispatch Building was in need of rehabilitation for future commercial tenants.
HOW
Designing Local assisted the property owner with listing the property on the Columbus Register of Historic Places and helped to secure $2.2 million in Ohio Historic Tax Credits for the roughly $29 million redevelopment project.
WHAT
Among the building’s new tenants are Candid Care, Co. and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.
