Columbus Issues Demolition Permit for Storm-Damaged Dollar General on Lockbourne Road

Demolition permit DEMO2639277 will raze the 9,028-square-foot retail building to satisfy an unsafe building order.

The City of Columbus has issued a commercial demolition permit to tear down the storm-damaged retail building at 2012 Lockbourne Road in south Columbus, according to municipal building records.

The permit authorizes contractors to raze the one-story, 9,028-square-foot structure, which previously operated as Dollar General store #13063. City records state that completion of the demolition work, including all required inspections and approvals, will satisfy municipal unsafe building order #UNSF2600269.

Property records show the commercial building was erected in 2011 across a 58,719-square-foot parcel on the Lockbourne Road commercial corridor. The retail outlet served nearby neighborhood residents before sustaining severe storm damage that prompted municipal unsafe building enforcement.

The demolition permit addresses the immediate code compliance hazard by clearing the damaged structure, but municipal filings do not specify plans for subsequent redevelopment or the long-term disposition of the cleared 1.35-acre site. It remains unannounced whether the property owner plans to construct a replacement retail building, sell the vacant land, or pursue an alternative commercial use.
