    A year and a half ago, Columbus announced plans to turn 10,000 acres along Rt. 315 into a place that would attract research and technology companies.

    The so-called 315 Research & Technology Corridor would bring 50,000 jobs to an 8-mile stretch along the freeway between Riverside Methodist Hospital and Downtown. But the project stalled — “never got fully formed” is the way Ty Marsh, president of the Columbus Chamber, put it.
