Nationwide Children’s kicks off expansion
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
BY SUZANNE HOHOLIK
About 1,000 people attended the ceremony for Children’s new $480 million main hospital, part of an $800 million expansion project. The new hospital, scheduled to open in 2012, will have all private rooms, a new emergency department and several family lounge areas.
Abigail Wexner, chair of the hospital’s board of directors, said the project will create 2,000 hospital jobs that will help the local economy. Another benefit, hospital and city officials said, is the change in the neighborhood around the hospital.
This month, the hospital promised to spend $5 million to buy and renovate 50 houses in the area, extend medical care to children and families who live nearby, offer GED courses and other programs to help residents get hospital jobs, and participate in mentoring programs at Livingston Avenue Elementary School.

Columbus City Council has approved a tax break for Nationwide Children’s Hospital valued at up to $15 million as it plans to add more than 4,000 jobs in little more than a decade.
Council at its Monday night meeting approved the 15-year tax incentive, part of the city’s Jobs Growth Incentive program. The legislation grants the hospital a 30 percent return of income taxes generated by newly added jobs.
Children’s, which employs more than 6,000, has said it plans to add 4,200 jobs through 2020 at its campus southeast of downtown, with about 2,400 of the jobs added by 2013. The city has estimated the initial 2,400 jobs created in the next five years would generate $3.36 million in annual city income taxes.

The average American child spends 26.4 hours/day watching TV. There’ll be plenty of sick kids to treat.

The scuttlebutt is that Nationwide and White Castle are teaming up on this scheme.

City makes sure graves are gone

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Before the bulldozers are called in for roadwork around Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus has asked archaeologists to poke around what used to be a city-owned cemetery.
City officials want to be sure no graves remain along Livingston Avenue from the cemetery whose occupants were moved elsewhere more than a century ago.

Stumbled on a construction progress webcam here http://www.earthcam.com/clients/nch/
Couple of construction photos of the tall cranes building up the Hospital expansion on the NE corner of Parsons & Livingston, and the demo of the old Bobb Chevrolet going on at the SW corner of Parsons & Livingston.
The main hospital building is getting taller every day. Going to look pretty impressive when it’s all finished. The Bobb Chevrolet is completely gone, and it looks like they’re building a CVS on part of the site. I’m guessing they’re moving it across the street and out of the old Kroger complex (which is currently being used for hospital parking). At least this new CVS is up against the street (Livingston) and should be a bit more attractive. I haven’t read what Childrens has planned for the rest of that SW corner lot. It’s a pretty big chunk of land.
How is the hospital even paying for this?? Wow!
Lots of glass going up in the front of the building. The CVS across the street is open, and most of the old Kroger building has been demoed.
Looks like it’s pretty much done. At least from the outside:
