COLUMBUS, Ind. — Columbus Regional Health plans to sell off a number of residential properties near the hospital.
They include several homes immediately east of the current CRH campus in the Circle Terrace subdivision, west of Midway Street.
Columbus Regional officials received permission Monday from the Bartholomew County commissioners to declare the first of what will likely be several homes as surplus properties. While most of these Circle Terrace houses were purchased by CRH around 2016, a few were bought as late as 2019 – and at least one was purchased a short time after the June 2008 flood, according to online property records.
Most were purchased as part of a master plan developed by Columbus Regional Health more than six years ago, said David Lenart, director of facilities and materials for the hospital. At that time, CRH was considering expanding its current campus along 17th, 18th and 19th streets, as well as along Midway Street.
