City Council — November 2, 2026
The five-year capital plan spells out the city's planned spending on roads, parks, facilities, and equipment through 2031. Adoption would lock in priorities for the next five years of infrastructure dollars.
Committee of the Whole — October 26, 2026
The city's five-year infrastructure and parks spending plan is one week from final adoption, now with the action sports park back in as an "identified" project after it was dropped.
Committee of the Whole — October 12, 2026
The five-year capital plan is up for adoption next week, with questions raised about project tracking, removed projects, and document errors. It's a guide, not an appropriation — real money moves through separate Council votes.
City Council — October 5, 2026
The city's five-year capital spending plan got its first reading — it maps out infrastructure priorities like streets and waterlines.
Committee of the Whole — September 28, 2026
The city's five-year capital wish list requests about $22.1 million in 2027, but softer income tax growth projections trim roughly $3.6 million from available funding. Water and sewer funds remain unbalanced due to west-side utility needs.
City Council — September 21, 2026
Council got a first look at a contract with GPD Group to design the 2027 street rebuild and waterline replacement project. It still needs further readings before approval.
Finance Committee — August 17, 2026
Gahanna's big-ticket projects — Creekside Garage and Plaza, Westside relief sewer, Stygler/Agler/US 62, Big Walnut Trail, and a future aquatics facility — add up to $85–106 million against finite city resources. Staff has applied for $30–40 million in outside grants and submitted 17 applications across eight project areas.
