The Central Ohio Transit Authority and the Columbus Regional Airport Authority broke ground on what is being called a “mobility center” near Rickenbacker International Airport Wednesday morning.
The $24.3 million project is aimed at boosting economic development in the area that currently employs about 38,000 people in the region. It will contain a child care center, a food pantry and a shared space for workforce training and community gatherings.
It comes as COTA looks to improve public transportation in central Ohio.
