City Council - Oct 26, 2026
The city is building a TIF framework for the ~70-acre Curtis Street industrial campus — the schools are held harmless, and tax increment funds public roads like the Bixby Parkway extension.
City Council - Jul 27, 2026
Guild Associates wants to build a $48 million advanced manufacturing campus on ~70 acres off Curtis Street — 125 jobs at first, potentially a thousand at full buildout. The incentive package includes a 75% tax abatement, a 30-year non-school TIF, and splitting net income tax 50/50 with the company, which some council members questioned.
City Council - May 11, 2026
PPG wants to build a roughly 120,000-square-foot manufacturing expansion, and the city was asked to grant a 15-year, 100% property tax abatement on the new construction. The school district and career center get compensation payments in exchange. It's a jobs-versus-tax-revenue tradeoff for residents.
Planning Commission - Apr 8, 2026
Fed One Dublin wants 63 acres rezoned for speculative industrial development in the city's Southwest Focus Area. The commission kept raw-materials manufacturing as a conditional use, so residents will still get a public review before such operations land there.
