Old Jubilee Demolished-New CVS Building in Worthington

Many residents were saddened to see their hometown grocery store shut its doors. I didn't realize until I moved to the Old Worthington area how valuable and convenient the store was to our residents. It was only a short walk or drive away and now residents must make the commute to Giant Eagle on 161, Kroger at Worthington Square, or down to Graceland shopping center for their quick ingredient pit stops. CVS has been making good headway on their construction and should offer Worthington residents that convenience for small food stops that we have been missing for the last 6 months. I look forward to seeing the finished project. The City of Worthington worked long and hard with CVS to bring a building that reflects the Worthington architecture that we know and love. I look forward to potential future redevelopment across the street on High St. as well as across North St. from the Jubilee locaiton where the current CVS and Kinkos reside. Those potential redevelopments will do so much for the feel of the High St. corridor. Sometimes I think many of the dinosaurs in Worthington fear change and redevelopment. I believe we should be open to any potential projects that maintain our classic colonial architecture and bring in businesses that attract community, culture, and social gatherings.
