Topics getting the most attention in Reynoldsburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Redevelopment of vacant former Walgreens at 6320 E. Main Street
A long-vacant drugstore on East Main will be split into two parcels for a Dutch Bros drive-thru and a dental clinic, bringing new businesses to a key corridor. Several variances were needed because of the planned Brice Road realignment, which will eventually bring the site into compliance.
Child daycare proposal at 1792 Brice Road
A proposed 56-child daycare in the I Innovation district was tabled because the applicant lacks a site plan, and the proposed playground sits near truck delivery routes and a rear egress door. She'll return by November 19.
Child daycare center at 6549 E. Livingston Avenue
Grace B Daycare wants to open with 15 kids in a vacant tenant space, but the playground location near a rear drive aisle and an old dumpster raised safety questions. The board gave them until April 16 to produce a proper site plan.
Summit Road Industrial CRA tax exemption
Council discussed — partly in executive session — a property tax exemption agreement with Summit Road Industrial LLC under the Community Reinvestment Area program, and advanced the ordinance for a first reading.
Proposed Taylor Road Annexation (133 acres, Etna Township)
A 120-acre commercial area off Taylor Road has begun the annexation process and will be zoned 'innovation' for career-based jobs — potentially the biggest economic development since Victoria's Secret.
