Editorial writer Stacey Stumpf has an article in today’s Journal Gazette.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The article, titled, “Quiet revival on east side of downtown<\/span>“, lists several projects that, “… are quietly making major investments to improve and develop existing buildings on the east side of downtown.”<\/p>\n

I’d like to point out a few things as the article reads like these projects are currently on-going.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Van Gilder & Trzynka P.C.<\/strong>: \u00c2\u00a0Yes, it was bought from John Tippmann, Sr., (Tippmann Property Group) however it was Tippman who invested the money to rehab the building. \u00c2\u00a0And, this was done several years ago.<\/li>\n
  2. LaHartz Trophies & Awards<\/strong>: This renovation occurred in 2007 and I think it’s already been celebrated? \u00c2\u00a0It did win an award from the DID at this past January’s annual meeting.<\/li>\n
  3. Rothberg Logan & Warsco<\/strong>: The only project on the list currently underway.<\/li>\n
  4. 400 E. Washington Blvd.<\/strong>: Announced with banners, but nothing is underway, yet.<\/li>\n
  5. Woodson Motorsports<\/strong>: \u00c2\u00a0Another building bought and rehabbed<\/em> by Tippmann Property Group, several years ago<\/em>. \u00c2\u00a0They were responsible for restoring the building to its former appearance inside and out before Woodson bought the building and installed the controversial metal siding to the building.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What about these projects that made just as big a ripple on the east side transition, but for some reason were omitted:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The Steininger Center<\/strong>, built two years ago?<\/li>\n
    2. The rebuilt Associated Churches Food Bank<\/strong> at Monroe and Wayne Streets?<\/li>\n
    3. Matthew 25<\/strong>‘s \u00c2\u00a0renovation and expansion?<\/li>\n
    4. The proposed strip mall\/convenience store at Clay and Jefferson Boulevard?<\/li>\n
    5. Exterior work on the former downtown Holiday Inn<\/strong>. \u00c2\u00a0They apparently have plans in the works for more exterior work as well.<\/li>\n
    6. 419 E Wayne Street<\/strong>, Frank Lloyd Wright design house. \u00c2\u00a0Another property rehabbed by Tippmann Property Group. \u00c2\u00a0(Listing)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      John Tippmann, Sr., and the Tippmann Property Group have been instrumental players in the saving of several key buildings downtown, including the Lincoln Tower. \u00c2\u00a0He and they truly deserve kudos and recognition!<\/p>\n

      She ends with, “…these private investments in downtown revitalization deserve recognition and should not be overlooked.” \u00c2\u00a0These investments haven’t been overlooked by anyone but apparently the Journal Gazette – thank goodness they’ve righted this now – and it only took a couple of years…<\/p>\n
