City moves to expedite annexation of 163 acres at Rockmill Industrial Park
Summary
The Finance Committee considered a request to begin expedited annexation of 163 acres from Greenfield Township for the Rockmill Industrial Park off Campground Road; sponsors sought suspension to meet Ohio Revised Code timelines and a companion ordinance was introduced to accept the petition.
The Finance Committee discussed an expedited annexation request on July 14 for 163 acres in the Rockmill Industrial Park.
Mrs. Hoop told the committee Temp Res #66-25 would begin expedited annexation of the property from Greenfield Township and cited statutory timelines; Law Director Hall was referenced as advising the suspension request to meet Ohio Revised Code deadlines. A companion ordinance (Temp Ord #34-25) was presented to accept the petition for annexation.
Why it matters: the annexation would transfer jurisdiction of 163 acres along Campground Road (toward State Route 33 and Wilson Road) into city limits, enabling city planning and development processes tied to industrial park expansion. The committee requested suspension of rules to comply with filing timelines; minutes do not record a committee vote on the suspension or the annexation itself.
The minutes identify the parcel size and general location but do not record details about conditions, developer commitments, or the timeline for final council action.
