Crosby trustees back Cardinal Land Conservancy application for 59-acre Branch Hill parcel
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved Resolution 24-2025 supporting a Cardinal Land Conservancy Clean Ohio Conservation Fund application to purchase about 59.25 acres (Branch Hill Acquisitions LLC) for permanent green space; trustees noted the land-use map may need updating.
Crosby Township trustees on Oct. 13 voted to support a Cardinal Land Conservancy application for the 2025 Clean Ohio Conservation Fund to preserve roughly 59.25 acres along State Route 128 that had been nominated by Branch Hill Acquisitions LLC.
A trustee read the proposed resolution, which states the township finds the nomination compatible with Crosby’s long-range land-use goals and that Cardinal Land Conservancy, as eligible sponsor, would hold and monitor the land in accordance with the Clean Ohio program.
Trustees asked zoning staff whether the property’s conversion to permanent green space would require updating the township’s land-use map; zoning agreed that the long-range plan would need amendment if the purchase and permanent green-space covenant proceed. The board approved the resolution by roll call and signed it for transmittal to the sponsor and relevant state offices.
The resolution text included the property auditor parcel number and explicitly authorized the trustees to sign the document on Oct. 13, 2025.
