housing developments along roads that we used to run up and down when it was fields and forest.
Ah, the good old days. They've done that behind me in the 30 years since I bought the house. Where once were field and trees filled with birds and critters sit little McMansions built with matchsticks, coat hangers, and duct tape!
Even places like Bob Evans moved their corp headquarters there because reasons.
Worked at Big Boy's years ago, we thumbed our nose at Bob Evans, (Howard Johnson's, too😄).
Wexner was really the first one up there, that was decades ago
We know they like the long game, maybe this was the plan all along.
require bypassing a couple of communities and that would be difficult.
Then they can screan some more about highways cutting off and separating segregating 'communities'! 🙄
The communities that Ohio 16 would bypass aren't of note - just old stops along the Walhonding Feeder.
Walhonding sounds quaint and charming. They may be happy for the by-pass, I probably would be. Can drive almost as fast on rural roads as you can on the freeway.
The Walhonding was a feeder canal that drained into the Ohio and Erie, although I guess technically Conesville, Adams Mills, and Tyndall would need bypassed. Tyndall would be the biggest issue because OH16 runs in a cut on one side of the town, with the river on the other. That would probably have required going up and around, continuing New 16.
The only reason all those data centers are out there is because power and land used to be cheap. Now it's just a big mud pit with what was supposed to be Intel.
