Violet Twp./Pickerington Schools

Could be bad, could be good. We do need something to bring in some tax dollars for the schools.
At least lets hope this is a Violet Twp. decision and not the O.R.R.D. from Liberty Township.

They are affected

Sounds like a large parcel of land owner's response....

The whole area will be affected by this development for many miles around. It needs to be done right and everyone should be at the table.

For those who are not selling their homes and farms and plan to stay here, the traffic noise lights and medicad support that big box requires is not always welcome and the tax dollars may offset it in one area, like the schools, but we will pay in other ways, like roads and quality of life. I do not see any winners, only a compromise because of the fact that it is nearly impossible to fight big box, and you are not getting a golf course proposal here.

When will it be?

I hear they cancelled the meeting. What's up with that?
