As we slowly move toward spring we have been compiling statistics of 2008.  I am proud to report that despite the slowing economy, 38 new businesses opened in Reynoldsburg last year.  The new Target store on SR 256 is slated to open March 4, and several others will follow.

We vastly increased the number of written code violations from 1,311 in 2007 to 2,030.  Code enforcement is a priority of mine and we will continue our efforts in 2009.

We were also able to avail ourselves of the expertise of OSU students who generated a comprehensive plan for the city parks.

While we face many challenges we also have much to be proud of.  Please feel free to call me or e-mail me with your thoughts and concerns.
