Preserving What Makes Grove City Special

• Grove City has a rich history, a strong sense of community, and a small-town feel that residents deeply value.
• As we grow, we must make sure we’re not losing the very character that makes people want to live and raise families here.

Smart, Managed Growth

• Growth is coming—what matters is how we grow. Unchecked development strains our roads, schools, and public services.
• We need thoughtful planning that focuses on smart land use, not just more rooftops and retail.

 Quality of Life Comes First

• Residents want neighborhoods that are safe, walkable, and connected—not just more traffic and congestion.
• Preserving green space, expanding parks, and protecting our natural resources must be part of every development decision.

Listen to Grove City Residents

• Growth decisions shouldn’t be made behind closed doors or without resident input.
• Zoning changes and development proposals must reflect the will of the community, not just the interests of outside developers.

 Economic Development That Fits Grove City

• We welcome new businesses—but they must fit our scale and values.
• Supporting local business and revitalizing older areas (like Town Center) creates jobs and keeps Grove City’s identity intact.

Protecting What We Love

• From Fryer Park to Gantz Farm, we have open spaces worth protecting. Expansion should never come at the cost of the environment.
• Sustainability must be at the center of our growth strategy—because Grove City belongs to the next generation, too.

More Walkable Neighborhoods

• A walkable Grove City means safer streets, stronger local businesses, and more connected communities.
• Let’s invest in sidewalks, crosswalks, and pedestrian-friendly design so residents of all ages can get around safely without a car.
• Walkability isn’t just good planning—it’s good for health, community life, and local economy.

 Fixing Traffic Trouble Spots

• Grove City is growing, and some roads weren’t built to handle the current volume.
• We need targeted solutions for congested intersections and high-traffic corridors—like improved traffic signal timing, turning lanes, and safer crossings.
• Safety should come first: Residents deserve to feel safe whether they’re driving, biking, or walking.

A Better City for Biking

• Biking should be a real transportation option, not just recreation.
• We should expand bike lanes, fill in missing connections, and make sure they’re safe, visible, and protected—especially near schools, parks, and town center.
• Secure bike parking and signage also help people feel confident choosing to ride.

Building a More Livable Grove City

• Every improvement in how we move around—walking, biking, or driving—adds to our quality of life.
• Let’s focus on a transportation network that works for everyone, not just cars. 
• These changes help make Grove City a place where people don’t just live—but thrive.
