The GroveCity2050 plan aims to guide the city's growth through 2050 while preserving its small-town character. Key areas of focus include land use, transportation, and economic development. The plan emphasizes a focused growth approach, prioritizing infill and redevelopment over urban sprawl. Specific strategies include enhancing the Town Center, improving transportation connectivity (walking, biking, transit), diversifying the economy, and preserving open spaces. The plan leverages the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission's (MORPC) insight2050 initiative to inform its strategies and ensure fiscal health. Community input played a significant role in shaping the plan's recommendations.
