The crime, blight and rodents at the Lockwood Park Apartments became such a problem that owners of a longtime business next door were thinking about moving.
Ezzo Sausage looked at locations in Lancaster, Canal Winchester and Pataskala. In the end, the company stayed at the South Side location it had moved into in 1978. That’s because the city of Columbus demolished the vacant apartment buildings, allowing Ezzo to expand.
The company, at 1802 Lockbourne Rd., goes before the city’s Development Commission on Thursday. The company plans to add 10 jobs and spend as much as $4 million on an 8,500-square-foot addition for drying pepperoni. That expansion will be on the company’s current property.
