Will Repeal efforts of Annexation reform (Senate Bill 5 – slated to go into effect Oct. 27th) really stifle “Economic Growth” for Pickerington Area residents?
See the link to Business First’s article (Annexation Rush – dated 9/7/2001).
Local officials seem to be concerned about limiting “new companies” from be attracted to our City.
What “New Companies”?
Homewood
Dominion
M/I
Moronda
Centex
Rockford
The list goes on and on…..
With farmland parcels receiving “EMERGENCY LEGISLATION” to authorize Pre-Annexation pacts and a Mayor & Council unanimously approving the former agricultural lands into subdivisions --
Where are the “New Companies” to broaden our tax base?
NO BUSINESS PARK….
NO INDUSTRIAL PARK….
Sure we have Growth, but is this the kind of growth that is sustainable?
