State earmarks $1 million for development at North Market

COLUMBUS (WCMH) -- Big changes are coming to the Arena District and the North Market in Columbus.
The North Market Tower development project is set to break ground in a few short months. NBC4 is learning the project is getting $1 million dollars from state lawmakers on top of a local tax break. Critics are calling it a misuse of tax dollars.
The North Market Development Association calls the new build a unique public space that will serve the entire community. The plan calls for a 35-story tower with residential and office space, and a large two-story atrium or arcade to connect it with the existing North Market.
“I am definitely excited, especially for a lot of the grocers in here,” said John Reese, co-owner of Black Radish Creamery in the North Market.
The North Market Development is expected to break ground by fall 2018, with a completion date expected within two years.
