Come hear me and smarter people talk about the power of partnerships.

Here's how some major projects will continue to transform Franklinton:

The hospitality sector development in central Ohio is so inspiring! I see some fascinating implications from work in Franklinton and have some thoughts! 🍽️ Restaurant Expansion Opportunities: With the influx of new residents and businesses, there's potential for savvy restaurateurs to establish unique concepts in Franklinton. The Walnut Street small business corridor, in particular, could be prime real estate for new eateries. 🏘️ Workforce Housing Impact: The focus on workforce housing in projects like Westrich could help address one of our industry's biggest challenges - employee retention. More affordable housing near urban centers can make it easier for restaurant staff to live close to work. 🏛️ Historic Redevelopment Potential: The Spaghetti Warehouse site discussion reminds me of how successful some restaurants have been in repurposing historic buildings. There might be opportunities for creative operators to preserve Franklinton's character while opening exciting new venues. 🌈 Diversification of Clientele: As Franklinton attracts a mix of income levels, restaurants will need to cater to diverse tastes and price points. This could lead to interesting hybrid concepts that appeal to both long-time residents and newcomers. 🎉 Event and Catering Growth: New residential developments and business corridors often lead to increased demand for event spaces and catering services. Local restaurants should be ready to capitalize on this. 🍺 Brewery and Distillery Synergies: With established players like Land-Grant Brewing in the area, there's potential for more craft beverage producers to cluster in Franklinton, creating a destination for food and drink enthusiasts. 🎓 Training Partnerships: As new businesses move in, there may be opportunities for restaurants to partner with workforce development programs or local schools to create job training initiatives. From my perspective, Franklinton's development isn't just about real estate - it's about the evolution of Columbus's culinary scene and the creation of new opportunities for our industry. Restaurateurs who stay ahead of these trends could find themselves well-positioned in this rapidly changing neighborhood. Shout out to the Franklinton Board of Trade for their tireless efforts in fostering this growth! Their work in community development and business support is instrumental in making these opportunities a reality. What do you think? Do these insights resonate with what you're seeing in the industry? #FranklintonDevelopment #ColumbusFood #HospitalityTrends #ORHA

20 homes on foundations, plants in the ground, and equipment on the playground! Move-in day for wildfire survivors is finally on the horizon. Beyond move-in, we'll set our sights on Phase 2: "Homes for Good is in the process of procuring the 20 Manufactured/Modular homes and once purchased will be working closely with OHCS, Lane County, and assigned case managers to work with individuals and families that were displaced by the Holiday Farm Fire to connect them to this housing opportunity. The project will address inequitable access to high quality housing in low-income rural communities and community revitalization post disaster."

COMMUNITY IN CONSTRUCTION: I believe in an organic network made of like-minded individuals who seek better for themselves. I instill this notion in my organization the Constructors Guild™. We crowd-source the geniuses, and then open source the genius. A holistic community of people that work together. Not necessarily all towards the same goal. But unquestionably made of people looking out for each other. And that’s a powerful transformation of how we view our industry and the world. We’ve realized that we’re not in competition. That we can benefit from all the things that you would typically get from being in competition with each other. We inspire each other which encourages us to work harder and raise our levels. We work in collaboration and are a tribe which is beneficial to everyone including witnessing your fellow members do well. Without this community, our industry has us riddled and conditioned to compete with each other including for the same type of work. By virtue of having created this community for those who build them, we’ve empowered our members to embrace being valuable assets. Our community grows with each member. The more of us doing the work, the better the creativity, influence, excitement, and inspiration. The better everyone will get. The better their careers or businesses will become. The better the competition they will bring to our industry. And, the better the #constructionindustry will [finally] become. Ours is a growth mindset. It’s high quality leadership. It’s also a collaborative process. It’s about becoming better at what we want to do. Together. This vision is one that I have held onto for decades. Patiently honing my skills. Making note of others’ mistakes including mine. Grasping to every lesson learned. Building my network. Nurturing every relationship. And now transferring all of that into the Constructors Guild™. My name is Gianluca, and I am the Head Curator of the Constructors Guild™ If this vision resonates with you. We should talk.
