Prices everywhere (especially at the gas pump) are increasing. This week at our City Council meeting, we voted unanimously to suspend the annual, planned 3% increase in water and sewer rates. That means no price increase for water for city residents. Pickerington has been able to keep these rates static for years thanks to smart planning and our water department’s rigorous maintenance and management.

Looking forward to more jobs and health care services coming to Pickerington!

Work is officially underway on a new $15 million medical facility along the city's Refugee Road Medical Corridor.

The Orthopedic One Pickerington campus will be adjacent to Pickerington Methodist Hospital along Stonecreek Drive and is expected to open in the spring of 2027.

The new office will include a six-pod physician clinic representing a full range of orthopedic specialties, expanded physical and occupational therapy space, and MRI services.

“Breaking ground on our new Pickerington office is an important step toward meeting the demand for high-quality musculoskeletal care in this growing region,” says Mark D’Aloisio, Orthopedic ONE Chief Executive Officer. “Our physicians have long served patients residing in and around Pickerington and we’re happy to put down roots here and provide care closer to home."

Still have questions about the income tax levy? 🤔

Then join us next Tuesday for clarification of anything you are unsure about.

Vote YES on May 5 to protect our schools. 💜🗳️
