Article Presented By Adena Health…

(Logan) – The State of Ohio has granted a $1.8 million tax credit for renovation of the former Riley Specialty Shoe Company, turning into Riley Lofts. The total project costs $11.4 million for the rehab construction project at 14 Gallagher Avenue in Logan. 

Constructed in 1914, the Riley Specialty Shoe Company building was a key employer in
Logan and one of the few Columbus-based shoe manufacturers to survive the 1950s. With
concrete interior structure, steel industrial windows, and brick exterior, the building has
been vacant for more than 30 years.

The building will be rehabilitated as Riley Lofts, a mixed-use space including apartments, retail shops, a restaurant/brewery, food hall, and event venue.

The credit to the Logan, Ohio project is part of $66 million in tax credits announced,
