The planned Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center project in Powell is not progressing as anyone had hoped.
Powell City Council on Jan. 19 granted Ohio State an extension on approval of its final development plan.
Attorney Aaron Underhill, representing Ohio State, told council the delays were related primarily to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
“The university . had to reprioritize,” Underhill said. “The result is a delay in designing and ultimately getting started on construction of this project. . By now we would’ve all hoped this project was getting started.”
The extension granted by council is for two years.
