Top issues during term (20)(Development)
Downtown Hotel and Parking Improvements
Up to $350,000 advanced for the kiosk contract; broken meters mean the city is currently leaving revenue on the table.
Boutique hotel denied in residential transition zone
The 8,000-square-foot historic building is deteriorating; supporters say the hotel is the best shot at preserving it, while opponents fear property-value impacts.
Flats at Boulder Park Development Plan
New commercial projects are bringing hundreds of jobs and millions in payroll, plus a TIF district and a $1.52 million road grant.
Curtis Street industrial development incentives (Guild)
Could bring jobs and investment to the Southwest Focus Area; no cost figures stated.
Baumholder, Germany relationship renewal
Northwood TIF Incentive Districts
New homes will expand the city's tax base, but the city and county still must fund the final Bixby Parkway connection to State Route 36.
Performance Impact Arena plan modification
It injects new sports and recreation infrastructure into the community, likely boosting local business around the facility.
Possible Paraguay sister city renewal
Four Seasons at Addison Farms expansion
Property values and local tax revenues could shift as hundreds of new homes go up in a high-demand growth zone.
Houk Road/Greenlawn Drive PUD amendment
Property values and local business revenue might see a boost, but your tax dollars could end up stretched thin trying to keep up with all the new roads and infrastructure.
Redwood at Addison Farms buffer mound dispute
Removing mature dying trees can cost homeowners thousands, which is partly why the smaller mound was proposed.
Residential growth in Boulder Farms and Terra Alta
Sewer capacity limits development to 319 units until utilities expand; infrastructure costs shared via development agreements.
Ex Flax east side redevelopment (up to 66 units)
Developer will pay for street improvements and contribute to the Lake Street/Central Avenue intersection project — amount not yet set.
Senior care facility near Houk Road
About $30 million in investment and 50-plus permanent jobs.
Chick-fil-A emergency access and traffic concerns
East-side retail growth on Sunbury Road
New commercial development will expand the city's tax base.
Latta attached garage variance at 376 N Sandusky Street
No city cost; the work would be paid for by the homeowner.
Coglands Crossing multifamily rezone
No direct cost to the city, but 450 apartments would grow the housing supply and future tax base.
Franklin Street parking lot appearance and security
Estimated $25,000-$50,000, targeted for the 2027 budget.
Delaware County Shared Services Administration building
