A NEW DOWNTOWN FOR GAHANNA?
Gahanna hopes to revive its old heart when the curtain rises on the city's multimillion-dollar Creekside project. Mill Street, off the banks of the Big Walnut Creek, was Gahanna's original downtown in the 19th century. But as Gahanna evolved into a suburb during the 1960s, commerce migrated away. For years, city officials talked about creating a new downtown on Mill Street. There have been stirrings in recent years with the development of scattered restaurants and offices. Construction for Creekside started in 2005. The 240,000-square-foot development will be a mix of offices, restaurants, stores, condominiums and parks. Offices, stores and restaurants will open gradually during the coming months. The condominiums are selling at a slower rate. Greg Burris of Stonehenge Co., the project's main developer, said openings within the next few weeks will include Brazenhead, an Irish pub and restaurant; Mezzo Kitchen and Wine, an Italian restaurant; Seekers Coffee House, which also will have a performance stage; Portobello Row, a gift shop; and the Candle Lab.
