Columbus maps 66 square miles for housing

An Ohio State fan credited the team’s seniors and returning players for executing the defense this season, while noting that the scheme took time to develop and recalling an earlier 42-point loss to Georgia that ended the team’s national-title hopes. Columbus has catalogued 66 square miles of public and tax-exempt land to identify sites for housing and other development, aiming to make better use of $500 million in bond funds amid a regional housing shortage. An Ohio Wesleyan student’s internship with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources provided field experience in stream and habitat monitoring, fish surveys and orphaned oil-well inspections, applying classroom skills to natural-resource management.
