Williams Road zoning issue
Groveport City Council approved a permitted use
variance to allow for fleet vehicle sales for property
located at 4241 Williams Road, which is currently
zoned planned industrial park.
Some residents from the nearby Three Rivers subdivision
(which is in the city of Columbus) opposed the
zoning variance citing noise, increased lighting, more
truck traffic, and fumes plus the potential for more
traffic congestion and accidents on Williams Road.
The zoning request was approved by council after
the legislation was amended to reflect agreements
between the nearby residents and the applicant that
made the plan acceptable to all parties.

Halloween parade
For decades, students in their Halloween costumes have
participated in Groveport Elementary’s traditional
Halloween parade. The parade route makes a loop from the
school on Main, Walnut, Elm, and Front streets before coming
back to the school on Main Street. Parents and people in
the neighborhoods come out each year to watch the kids in
the parade. Pictured here is a Groveport Elementary
Halloween parade from the mid-1980s.
