A local place for growing vegetables and herbs, building community and healing social wounds could be in peril because a developer wants to build affordable housing on the land.
Kossuth Street Garden occupies roughly 11,700 square feet at the southwest corner of Kossuth and East 17th Street in the Southern Orchards neighborhood east of German Village and Schumacher Place.
In documents filed with the city of Columbus, East Kossuth LLC wants to build 10 affordable-housing units with detached garages on the entire 0.9-acre property that is bounded by Kossuth, East 17th, an alley and Ann Street.
The address of the lot is 641 E. Kossuth St.
