Franklinton (W Broad / W Rich) corridor — Storefront Scout snapshot

Civic Worth's Franklinton corridor follows W Broad Street and W Rich Street just west of downtown Columbus. Its Storefront Scout page tracks 311 vacant-structure complaints, building permits and mapped storefront businesses in and around the corridor.

Civic Worth's Franklinton corridor covers the W Broad Street and W Rich Street frontages, mostly inside the Franklinton Area Commission's boundary. Its polygon is an approximate rectangle that also takes in the surrounding blocks; by parcel count its Title 33 districts are DD and EFD. The corridor page reports three measures: vacant-structure complaints filed with Columbus 311 inside the polygon over the trailing 12 months, building permits issued within 150 meters of it by year (City of Columbus Building & Zoning Services), and storefront businesses mapped in OpenStreetMap. The 311 figure counts complaints, not confirmed vacancies, and OpenStreetMap is volunteer-mapped, so its business count may be incomplete. The figures update as the sources do; check the corridor page for current numbers before quoting them. A fuller corridor report is available on request from that page. The corridor page is at civicworth.com/storefront-scout/franklinton-w-broad-rich-corridor.
