"Through the initiative of Planning Director Michele Boni, The Ohio State University’s City and Regional Planning Department was engaged to coordinate an update to Orange Township’s 2010 Land Use Plan. As an OSU MCRP alumnus, Ms. Boni knows firsthand the quality planning work produced throughout Central Ohio by these talented students. After several organizational meetings during the spring and summer, it was decided that the Autumn 2017 Graduate Comprehensive Planning Studio would take on this challenge.
With only 15 weeks to work, eight graduate students from a variety of backgrounds were entrusted with this important project. They completed key research that provided a baseline of knowledge; they gathered significant community input and delved into issues that have real impact on the residents; they made numerous informal visits to the area and held public meetings during the first weeks of September, October, November, and December. Several guest speakers in various areas of expertise were brought in for the benefit of the students. These efforts, combined with input from community leaders and stakeholders, provided the students with fundamental knowledge of Orange Township. Because of these intense efforts, I believe their recommendations are both legitimate and essential to secure the future of this growing community! |
