City Council approved the annexation petition AN-25-009 to annex approximately 980.44 acres of land from Blendon Township to the City of Columbus. The annexation encompasses numerous parcels and rights-of-way as described in the legal description for expedited annexation. The petition was processed under Expedited Procedure No. 1, and upon acceptance the City will submit boundary conformance filings to Franklin County. The newly annexed territory will be excluded from Blendon Township and incorporated into Columbus for municipal governance. No compensation payments to Blendon Township are required per the governing annexation agreement. Council action aligns the City’s jurisdictional boundaries and prepares for future service delivery.
