Mayor's Corner
Exciting things are happening in Obetz.  Obetz is continuing to add jobs.  Zulily.com opened a facility in December 2011 and is already employing 200 individuals with a commitment to hire an additional 400 in the next five years.  Work on the Alum Creek Drive/Groveport Road intersection will be continuing this year.  Site work for the Alum Creek Drive overpass which will connect the traffic circles has already begun.    

On March 1st, the Obetz Athletic Club celebrated its first anniversary.  The Obetz Athletic Club is located in Memorial Park near the football and baseball fields.  Obetz residents can join the facility for $10/month.  Non-residents can join for $25/month.  For more information, call 491-8520. 

As always, I welcome your comments and look forward to the new things the year holds.
