Five-story apartment building nears construction in Franklinton
Grateful Development Partners, a central Ohio-based development company, is advancing plans to build a mixed-use residential building at 550 W. Broad St. in Franklinton. Once completed, the complex will house 64 apartments on the top four floors, and a ground floor retail alongside a 42-space parking garage.

'We are committed to addressing the affordable housing crisis by creating both accessible and desirable projects,' Grateful states on its site. 'We specialize in developing mixed-use properties that blend residential, commercial, and recreational spaces in a way that enhances the quality of life for our neighborhoods.'
Chris Gump, partner at Grateful, confirmed to NBC4 the company is hoping to begin construction by end of the summer. The development company's project was reviewed one last time by the East Franklinton Review Board on May 28, which approved the landscaping and lighting proposed for the complex.
The five-story building was first presented in May last year to the review board, who applauded the proposal and said it 'enhances the area's urban character.' Grateful returned to the review board in July and then again in August for the building's approval.

Before construction can begin on the new structure, crews will need to demolish a one-story building that has long sat vacant on the property.
The site is just a block away from Gravity, a sprawling residential complex that recently sold several buildings part of its second phase for a combined $78 million. Since then, these former Gravity properties have been rebranded to 'Horizon West' and are now under the management of a Columbus-based investment firm named Coastal Ridge Real Estate.

Del Monte Foods files for bankruptcy and will search for buyer
Del Monte Foods, whose canned vegetables and fruit have long been a staple on grocery store shelves, announced Monday that it has filed for bankruptcy and will seek a buyer. The nearly 140-year-old company is entering Chapter 11 proceedings as part of a restructuring support agreement (RSA) with its lenders. "After a thorough evaluation of all available options, we determined a court-supervised sale process is the most effective way to accelerate our turnaround and create a stronger and enduring Del Monte Foods," Greg Longstreet, president and CEO of Del Monte Foods, said in a statement. Del Monte did not immediately respond to CBS MoneyWatch's request for comment. The canned-goods producer, based in Walnut Creek, California, said it has secured a commitment for $912.5 billion from its lenders that will help fund the company throughout the going-concern sale process and allow it to continue operating. Del Monte has between $1 billion to $10 billion in both estimated liabilities, according to its court filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. The sale, the California-based company said in its statement, will involve "all or substantially all of the Company's assets." In its search for a new buyer, Del Monte said it would prioritize the highest or best offer. Changing consumer preferences Del Monte is the fourth company in the food & beverage sector to file for Chapter 11 according to data from Debtwire, a data analytics firm. "Generally, Del Monte says that consumer demand has declined, causing it to incur increased costs related to surplus inventory that it has had to warehouse and attempt to move off shelves with increased promotional spending," said Sarah Foss, global head of legal and restructuring at Debtwire, in an email to CBS MoneyWatch. "Consumer preferences have shifted away from preservative-laden canned food in favor of healthier alternatives," she added. The move follows a challenging few years for the company, which has issued layoffs and made efforts to downsize to cut costs. Del Monte last year started a debt overhaul, according to Bloomberg.

Troubling Malik Beasley debt details emerge with NBA star embroiled in gambling probe
Malik Beasley seems to be in some deep water. Amid a federal investigation into gambling allegations made earlier this week, it has now been revealed that the NBA free agent with nearly $60 million in contract earnings across his nine-year career is facing financial woes that include multiple debts and lawsuits against him. It was reported Tuesday that Beasley is being sued by his former marketing agency for failing to repay in full a $650,000 advance. Then, The Detroit News reported Tuesday evening the sharpshooter has incurred debts to a celebrity barber, a dentist, a landlord and a lender — all in addition to the New York-based marketing firm. Advertisement 4 Malik Beasley has had a troubled financial history in recent years. AP 'I have been with Malik for a long time, I have seen a lot of people around him come and go, but I have stayed away from any of his financial management or mismanagement or decisions he would make with money,' Steve Haney, Beasley's criminal defense lawyer, told The Detroit News. Haney, who said he doesn't 'get involved' in Beasley's finances, added: 'You hope to get them around the best business people and planners and management people. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.' Advertisement 4 Malik Beasley fumbled a pass with a chance to make a game-tying three against the Knicks in the playoffs. Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Detroit News reported that Beasley even pledged his current and future NBA contracts to a lending company, South River Capital LLC, which won a nearly $5.8 million judgment against Beasley — a copy of the judgment was filed in 2022 when Beasley was with the Timberwolves. Beasley's reasoning for borrowing money is unclear, though court records show that he paid back $1.3 million in early 2023. 'It is very common for professional athletes to go to third-party lenders and get advances on contracts. It's a part of the business of professional sports,' Haney said. 'Many of these lenders are predatory and charge extremely high interest rates and outrageous fees that border on usury.' Advertisement 4 Malik Beasley had a career year in Detroit and was primed for a contract extension. AP Beasley's other financial issues include being sued twice for failing to pay more than a combined $20,000 in rent at The Stott building in Detroit. In January, a celebrity barber serving many NBA players won a $26,827 judgment against Beasley. Elsewhere in January, a Minnesota dentist won a $34,390 default judgment against Beasley, and the dentist, Hassan Alshehabi of Delicate Smiles, started garnishing Beasley's paychecks from the Pistons the following month. Advertisement Beasley was likely going to sign a reported three-year, $42 million contract with Detroit before the gambling investigation put a wrench into those plans just a day before free agency opened. 4 Malik Beasley waving to the Madison Square Garden crowd after making a clutch three-pointer in a January game. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The 28-year-old made 319 3-pointers for the Pistons this past season, just one behind Anthony Edwards' league-leading 320. While the gambling investigation is fresh and ongoing, the evidence of Beasley's financial issues is growing.

Tesla's delivery numbers are out — and they're just as bad as Wall Street predicted
Tesla 's delivery numbers are in — and they're as bad as Wall Street expected. The electric automaker delivered 384,000 EVs in the second quarter, narrowly missing analysts' grim expectations. Wall Street had prepared for disaster, with analysts on average expecting 389,400 vehicles delivered in the quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The actual number represents a year-over-year decrease of around 13% from the roughly 444,000 vehicles it delivered in the second quarter of 2024. This is the biggest quarterly decline in pure numbers in Tesla's history, representing a drop of 60,000 deliveries compared to Q2 2024. The latest report follows a bruising first quarter for Tesla. The automaker delivered nearly 336,700 EVs in the first quarter of 2025, marking a 13% decrease from the same period in 2024 and its lowest quarter since 2022. The challenging quarter came after Tesla experienced its first year-over-year delivery decline in 2024 as the company grappled with an industry-wide EV slowdown, increasing competition, and backlash from some against Elon Musk's political actions. In the company's first quarter earnings call, CFO Vaibhav Taneja attributed lower delivery numbers to assembly line changeover for the refreshed Model Y and anti-Tesla hostility that had an impact in some markets. The refreshed Model Y — Tesla's best-selling vehicle — has since launched, fueling an increase in new vehicle sales in April for the automaker as other manufacturers saw a monthly decrease, according to Cox Automotive data. However, it's not the more affordable model that the company previously said was on track to begin production by the end of June. Although Musk stepped down from his political stint at the White House, the full extent of any brand damage to Tesla is not clear. The company's stock got a boost after Musk stepped away from his work with DOGE, though the Tesla CEO later ignited a highly public feud with Trump. Tesla's stock has seen volatile swings in recent weeks as the two trade insults. Tesla is looking to buck its sales slump Tesla's delivery report arrives as the automaker has faced shrinking sales in multiple markets in recent months. Data from Shanghai-based consultancy ThinkerCar indicated that Tesla's EV sales in China decreased 18% year-over-year between January and May as its rival BYD surged. The company did get some good news in its second-largest market on Wednesday. According to data from China's Passenger Car Association, the number of cars shipped from Tesla's Shanghai factory rose slightly in June compared to last year, halting an eight-month run of year-over-year sales declines. Tesla's EU market share dropped year over year from 1.6% to 0.9% in May, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. The automaker saw a 45.2% drop in EV registrations in the first five months of the year in Europe. When previously asked about declining Tesla sales in Europe, Musk has said that Europe is not a key market for the EV maker and that demand remains strong in other regions. "Europe is our weakest market," Musk said at the Qatar Economic Forum in May. May data from Cox Automotive suggests that the US EV industry is also facing challenges. New EV sales are down 10.7% year over year despite a 4.2% uptick from the month prior, according to the data. Despite the industrywide headwinds, the report estimated that Tesla remained the market leader in May. Musk has said that Tesla's bet on solving full vehicle autonomy is key to the company's future growth. The company launched a limited rollout of its robotaxi service in Austin in June, with plans to expand the service in the coming months.
