Budd Dairy Food Hall State Historic Tax Credit
Columbus, Ohio
WHY
The Budd Dairy was a mostly-vacant historic dairy processing building in the Italian Village neighborhood of Columbus. A large-scale building full of interesting historic detail that had sat vacant for years, the site was well placed for redevelopment. The large dairy processing area and variety of spaces within the building fit well with the ‘food hall’ concept. But that use would not be economically feasible without a historic tax credit.
HOW
Our client partnered with Cameron Mitchell Restaurants to execute the food hall concept, while our team worked to gain the approvals necessary to allow the concept to be executed within the historic space. In partnership with Benjamin D. Rickey Co., we also successfully nominated the building to the National Register of Historic Places and assisted the property owner to secure an Ohio Historic Tax Credit and a Federal Historic Tax Credit.
WHAT
Budd Dairy Food Hall is now fully operational, and very popular.
