Columbus-Franklin County Finance Authority quietly backs high-profile projects

Once a supporter of purely public projects, the economic development agency - owned by the city of Columbus and Franklin County - now also backs private neighborhood-anchoring developments, such as Rogue Fitness' 600,000-square-foot factory in the long-struggling Milo-Grogan neighborhood of Columbus. A: One of our regular clients is Nationwide Realty Investors, and we've closed on three projects at Grandview Yard.
