COLUMBUS, Ind. — Partners on NexusPark have launched a website for the project and unveiled a new logo.
The news was announced Thursday in a joint press release from the city of Columbus and Columbus Regional Health. NexusPark is a joint venture between the two entities to transform FairOaks Mall into a health, wellness and recreation center. The project’s website can be accessed at nexuspark.org and features information about the development, including its new logo and branding.
CRH and the city of Columbus partnered in 2018 to purchase the mall facility and property at a 25% to 75% split, with the city retaining majority ownership for parks and recreation and sports tourism development. The Heritage Fund — The Community Foundation provided the difference between the selling price and the appraised value.
The NexusPark campus is expected to include, among other things, an indoor sports fieldhouse, Columbus Parks administrative and recreational spaces and CRH facilities.
