Three doctors want to build medical offices at a Hilltop site that Columbus spent more than $1.7 million to buy and clean up. The nonprofit Homes on the Hill also has talked to the city about building senior-citizen housing on part of the 22.5-acre site off Wheatland Avenue north of W. Broad Street.
