This ordinance approves the annexation of 22.0 acres from Franklin & Norwich Township into the City of Columbus. The territory includes various lots and parcels primarily within North Skidmore Addition. Following the County's approval, the annexed land will become part of Columbus, with 73% of its perimeter contiguous to existing Columbus city limits, enhancing municipal control and service access for future development.
The annexation facilitates the City of Columbus’s expansion, allowing for future development and enabling access to municipal services. The addition of this territory strengthens Columbus’s jurisdictional continuity in the region.
