For immediate release, December 4, 2024:
Concord Township Residents,
Concord Township is looking for residents to serve on a committee to update the township’s comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (Comp Plan) is the vision and roadmap for development in the Township. The last major update was in 2016 with minor updates in ’18 and ’21. Delaware County Regional Planning, the Concord Township Zoning Commission and the Trustees use this document as a guide when a zoning change application is made for a new housing development, commercial business, etc. This committee will provide input in updating the Comp Plan to give residents a voice in how they want to see development in their Township. Ultimately this document will be forwarded to the Trustee to adopt. If you have any questions feel free to call any of the Trustees with questions:...
Concord Township has an open position on the Township Board of Zoning Commission (BZC). This position is an alternate position and will stand in when a regular member cannot attend a meeting.
Public Meetings will be held one time per month or as needed. The BZC’s responsibilities include updating the Zoning Resolution and Comprehensive Plan as needed, review rezoning applications and preliminary development plans for compliance with the zoning resolution and make a recommendation for consideration to the Trustees. You must be a Concord Township resident to apply. If interested, please send an email to contact@concordtwp.org include your full name, address, any other information, qualifications, and reasons why you are interested in participating on a township zoning board. ...
The City of Columbus currently owns and operates three water plants, collectively supplying an average of 145 million gallons per day of drinking water to Columbus and surrounding central Ohio communities. The continued growth of population and industry in central Ohio, along with the need to increase reliability and resiliency across the water supply system, has driven the need for additional water capacity.
The design process for the fourth water plant was initiated in winter 2023 by the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) with the goal of bringing the new facility online by the end of 2028. The new Home Road water plant will be built on DPU-owned property along the Scioto River at the southeast corner of Home and Dublin roads in Delaware County.
Survey crews will conduct ecological surveys and field walks along the entire length of the recommended transmission main corridors from now through the endof 2024. All work will be within the road right-of-way....
Thank you!
If you wish to continue with the township contract pricing, you do not need to do anything - it will auto-renew; if you wish to opt-out of the fixed rates for the township electric aggregation program, there is an opt-out form to submit.
Dynegy Energy was awarded the low bid supplier for township electric for the Ohio Edison portion of the Township starting July 2023-June 2025 at $0.0692 per kilowatt hour, fixed for 2 years. You do not need to sign up; your supply service will auto-renew. (Current opt-out, estimated Ohio Edison rate effective June 1, 2024 is $0.0929/kWh).
The AEP portion of the Township was awarded to Dynegy Energy for a three year supplier contract at a rate of $0.04956 effective May 2021-May 2024. It will renew again with Dynegy for a one year term May 2024-May 2025 @$0.06299. (Current opt-out, estimated AEP rate effective June 1, 2024 is $0.0768/kWh)....
Starting with the April 1, 2023 bill, you will see an increase in you trash and recycling collection rates from Rumpke. Your rate for the next year will be $21.45 per month. When the Township Trustees put this contract out to bid in late 2021/early 2022 we were facing inflation rates that were at a 40 year high. Our concern was that a 3-year contract could reflect those historic inflation rates projected over the three-year contract. Those concerns lead us to bid the contract with the yearly rate increase tied to the Consumer Price Index for Water/Sewer and Trash Collection Services. We felt this was the fairest way to bid the contract to avoid companies projecting a 10% yearly inflation rate over the life of the contract.
Starting April 1, 2023, we are in the second year of that contract. The CPI increase for Water/Sewer and Trash Collection Services is 4.42%. I have included the link to the data that was used for this calculation. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUSR0000SEHG...
