Worthington is a city in Franklin County, Ohio and is a suburb on the northern side of Columbus. Founded in 1803, the city is about to face some major redevelopments in 2016. Earlier this month, the city officially launched its new citywide sign and program that is expected to forever change the appearance of the city.

Worthington movers and Columbus movers teamed up to inform residents of Worthington that the City Council approved a $120,000 project, as well as another $50,000 to be divvied up each year over the course of four years. The project was created in order to change the style of many city fixtures and signs, all while maintaining a new and more modern theme.

In 2011, the city created the Wilson Bridge Corridor Study and found that in order to provide sustainability for Worthington, the city needed to plant “seeds” that would provide a foundation for growth in the future. In order to maintain Worthington’s quality of life and make the city sustainable for future growth and development, the city agreed to pass the project that would update street signs and fixtures.

According to an article by Andrew King in the Worthington News, “It suggested that Worthington ‘enhance’ its image and brand; promote new, complementary residential development; guide redevelopment of ‘underutilized’ commercial properties; become more pedestrian-friendly; promote development of civic spaces, buildings and events in the corridor; fill out a commercial core; and seek funding assistance for the projects.”

If you are moving to Columbus or into the suburb of Worthington, you can expect to see many changes in the upcoming year, and hopefully, Worthington will become increasingly more attractive for others to move to as well.
