Lodging would be built on former site of sports-themed restaurant
City officials in Columbus, Ohio, are offering a 10-year tax break to developers who want to tear down the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe and build a hotel near the Ohio State University campus, the Columbus Dispatch reports. Columbus City Council approved a deal with a group led by Continental Real Estate, one of the owners of the restaurant building, which wants to build a 134-room hotel at the site. (Which hotel flag would fly at the site was not disclosed.)
Columbus development officials building a hotel at the site will help make up for the loss of rooms and hotel-tax money from OSU's conversion of the former Lane Avenue Holiday Inn into student housing. However, the development will cost Columbus a bit of history, when the restaurant building is torn down. Although the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe is barely a decade old, the building once housed the Jai Lai, a popular restaurant that was a favorite of legendary OSU football coach Woody Hayes.
