Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

Is the city still going ahead with a skate park behind the new police station or did that idea die with Randy Hughe's resignation?

No Business Park

I?’ve read the facts on the Water Plant railroad job on this website and appreciate the enlightenment of the whole picture rather than the railroad job of information my city continues to belch up. I had also read that Pickerington Communicator and could just tell that something was wrong. That same piece of City dribble had the skate park now at Sycamore Park. I could care less about their promised skate park. They have yacked about that for years ?– behind Krogers, at the old police station, at the new police station, at the 256 / 70 eyes sore, who cares. One thing is for sure every place they name we get more houses/ apartments/ condos and we get NO Business Park!
