I've brought several higher-level employees to central Ohio. When discussing re-location, "do they pass their levies?" inevitably comes up. Don't underestimate the long-term impact to a community. I'm curious about Pickerington's housing market since they've been voting them down. Three communities that stand out to me as having healthy housing, good schools, and a history of passing levies are Grandview, Grandville, and Bexley. I believe there is a correlation. That being "said", districts must practice fiscal responsibility/restraint or their gravy train will eventually dry up. Edit: Pickerington's levy passed.
