🌯 Burrito bonanza

Columbus • March 4, 2025

​

Good morning, Columbus. The aroma of fresh Chipotle burritos has finally reached Granville, as the popular chain unwrapped its first location there this week. With a dedicated Chipotlane and 30 new jobs with benefits, it's a welcome addition to the more than 30 other Columbus-area locations already serving up those famous burrito bowls.

Meanwhile, firefighters tackled a two-alarm blaze at an unoccupied apartment building in northeast Columbus early Monday, while the Eastern Cottontail Solar Project awaits its final regulatory hearing on March 4th. If you're passionate about bringing 220 megawatts of clean energy to our region, simply showing up wearing green could help tip the scalesβ€”no testimony required, just your presence to demonstrate community support.
