What Ohioans are saying

Land development issues such as urban sprawl, redevelopment, property taxes, schools, open space conservation, inner city disinvestment and more are in the news nearly every day. Clearly these topics impact all Ohioans! And while there have been previous efforts to address these topics, Greater Ohio is unique in that it seeks to raise public awareness across the entire state to create a groundswell of public support for growing smarter! The Ohio Planning Conference, a Chapter of the American Planning Association, champions this effort and is preparing to provide support through a thorough study of Ohio’s planning and zoning statutes.

President, Ohio Planning Conference

"The Greater Ohio Campaign is a long overdue effort to move land use issues to the forefront both for the general public and our elected officials. We applaud and support this effort."
— Amalie Lipstreu, Director, Center for Farmland Preservation in Northeast Ohio

"Greater Ohio is about bringing stakeholders together to create a new vision for sustainable growth and to enrich the quality of life in Ohio. As a city manager, I recognize the necessity of working together so all Ohioans enjoy a bright future."
— Virginia Barney, City Manager, Upper Arlington
