Property Highlights

The Columbus Creosote wood treating plant began operations at the site in the 1920s, closed in 1970, and the buildings were destroyed by fire in 1971. Operations on the site included the use of creosote for preservation of wood products.

Former Use: Miller & Co., 1986; City of Columbus, 1984; Bren Ent. 1983; Rex E Breeden, 1983; The Brex Corp 1982; and Southwest Forest Industries, 1976, unknown.

The use for the subject property is a parking lot with landscaping. The use is part of a larger project that is immediately to the north and east of the site. The project is a 200 unit multi-family complex with an urban grocer. The project along with the construction of this parking lot is currently under construction and anticipated to be completed in 12 months.
