Committee of the Whole - Oct 26 2026
Hilliard is putting $4.8 million into buying the nine-mile rail corridor for the Heritage Trail extension, connecting downtown to the stadium area with Upper Arlington, Marble Cliff, Grandview, and Columbus. State grants knock the cost down and COTA's transit tax fund pays Hilliard back over time.

About 333 acres — city parcels plus M/I Homes conservation land — would transfer to Metro Parks for Homestead Metro Park expansion, with Metro Parks handling Heritage Trail maintenance, snow removal, and patrols. Final vote Sept. 28.
