Concord Township Residents Invited to Discuss Impact of Proposed Housing Development on Local Schools

Dublin City Schools has raised concerns about a proposed housing development in Concord Township, due to its potential impact on the school district. The township's Zoning Department will review an application to rezone 36 acres of farmland into a residential district on December 19. The proposed development, The Courtyards on Concord, plans to include 54 single-family homes and various amenities.

The school district, especially in the northwest quadrant, is already dealing with a rise in student numbers. The new high-density residential development could worsen this situation, possibly leading to significant future school levy requests. Plans for additional elementary buildings, a sixth middle school, and potentially a fourth high school are already under consideration.

Although the school district doesn't make zoning or development decisions, it plans to keep the community informed about residential growth. It acknowledges the role of responsible growth in community prosperity but emphasizes the need for development to meet school needs.

Community members are urged to participate in the decision-making process by reaching out to their township trustees. The rezoning application will be reviewed at a meeting on December 19, 7 pm, at the Concord Township Administrative Building. Further details are available on the Concord Township website.

The school district encourages those who value the schools' integrity to engage with elected officials and join discussions about planned housing developments. It asserts that community involvement is key to aligning community growth with the school district's values and priorities.
