 The City of Worthington has a strong tradition of success. Since its founding over 200 years ago, companies have enjoyed the benefits of doing business in Worthington. Strategically located just inside the I-270 outerbelt north of Columbus, Worthington is the ideal location with easy access to all of central Ohio and beyond. The City of Worthington boasts a wide range of commercial and industrial properties, located in seven commerce centers throughout the community including the desirable downtown business district in historic Old Worthington. Businesses enjoy competitive lease rates and immediate availability of prime sites and facilities.
The City of Worthington works one-on-one with business to help meet their specific needs and assist businesses in their growth and development. Worthington’s business friendly environment is helping companies save time and money through its Venture Grant and streamlined review programs. Financial incentives, easy access, exemplary city services and a high-tech telecommunications infrastructure all benefit local businesses. In addition, a strong partnership between the City and the Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce helps build connections between businesses and their customers.
 In 2006, a new Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Plan (PDF; 7.86MB) has been implemented to further benefit the business community and guide growth and development in the City. With most of the City built-out, the attention is placed on redevelopment of existing facilities and properties; finding ways to create new opportunities through re-use and redevelopment.
A number of large office, retail and residential development projects are underway in the City of Worthington, reflecting this focus on redevelopment:
Construction has begun on Worthington Station, a new office condominium project that will consist of 12 buildings and bring an estimated 300 new jobs to the City of Worthington. This 85,000 square foot development is located on east side of Proprietors Road, on the site of the old Worthington Foods plant. The project represents a $10 million investment in the community. Worthington Station is being developed by RCD Real Estate.
Construction is also underway on a residential project on the west side of Proprietors Road, on land formerly owned by Worthington Foods. Simsbury Place will include 32 luxury residential condominiums.
 Extensive redevelopment is planned for Worthington Square, the mall located at the crossroads of I-270 and High Street. The mall face will be redesigned to create more store access and a welcoming atmosphere on the east side of the facility. The new development will also feature new retail space and a newly designed Kroger Market Fresh store. A new road will separate Worthington Square from the Kroger store and allow easy access to all sides of the facility. Construction is scheduled to begin this year.
