A developer is seeking to demolish two historic homes at Cornell and Random Roads in Little Italy and replace them with 14 new apartments.

Greg’s Produce owner Jason Scott has been working at the West Side Market since he was 16, and now that he’s an owner of a business there, he can’t imagine doing anything else.

When John Orlando, CEO of the 120-year-old Orlando Baking Company, looks out of the conference room at his company headquarters on the Opportunity Corridor and sees thousands of cars a day flowing past his front door, he likes what he sees. Before the $322 million, 3.5 mile roadway between East 55th and University Circle was completed in late 2021, he estimated that only a few hundred cars drove past their facility each day. Now, he said, it’s more like 20,000.
