Plain Township - Planning For Our Children’s Future

After 5 years of working through legal questions, an agreement has been accepted by Plain township, the village of New Albany, Columbus and the Columbus Metro Parks that will set in motion the plan to develop a 1,200 acre metro park in the northern part of the township.

The next step in the process will be for all entities involved in the park to sign the agreement. A signing date is currently being worked on. Once all signatures are in place the land acquisition will begin.

Columbus has the option to annex 2,800 acres from Plain township with as much as 1,200 acres to be set aside for the park. The size of the park will be determined by the cost of the land. Current plans call for the park to be bordered by Schott Road, Walnut Street, Peter Hoover Road and Delaware-Franklin County line. The plan process will be lengthy with fruition more likely enjoyed by next generation of area residents.
