2011 Annual Report
Welcome to Worthington
The City of Worthington is bringing life to business and our residential
community through a number of exciting projects and initiatives in 2012. We
are pleased to highlight these as well as share accomplishments of the previous
year through this Annual Report.
There are certainly signs in Worthington that the economy is stabilizing. Our
primary revenue stream for City services – the income tax – has increased since
2010. While this is largely due to the o.5% increase approved by Worthington
voters, there are also signs that business growth has returned. As new
development and redevelopment continues to take place as outlined in our
Comprehensive Plan, we remain mindful of the importance of maintaining the
integrity of our character and the identity of Worthington that is so important to
the historic culture of this community.
The City continues to focus on ensuring high quality services, facilities and
infrastructure for our citizens. You can see this with the new Godown Road Dog
Park and renovations to the Indianola Park Playground, as well as a variety of
improvements to basic infrastructure – water and sewer lines – throughout the
community.
We will continue to be cautious with expenditures in the coming years. We
will also likely continue to discuss and make operational reductions as we face
revenue cuts imposed by the State of Ohio. Our approach to these has and will
continue to be thoughtful and deliberate. We will continue to remain focused
on the needs of our citizens and customers as the bottom line for such decisions.
We believe that our true wealth resides in the people of this community. We are
constantly amazed at how many of you selflessly volunteer to make it a better
place. This, more than anything, makes Worthington and its neighborhoods an
exciting and wonderful place to live.
A drive through town shows much progress along both High Street and
Wilson Bridge Road. We believe the resurgence of The Shops at Worthington
Place combined with the ever-growing vitality of our historic downtown, make
As always, we are grateful for the support of our citizens and community
Worthington one of the most distinctive destinations in Central Ohio. We are
partners and look forward to serving you in 2012.
optimistic that our continued efforts will foster long-term economic success
along these and other critical corridors. We are grateful to the many
businesses, some of which are pictured in this Annual Report, who are
making investments in this great community.

Two new members were elected and joined five incumbents on the City
Council in 2012. Doug Smith was elected to a four-year term while Rachael

The City Council continually works to insure quality city services and
infrastructure, provide support for a strong Worthington economy, maintain
and enhance the City’s fiscal health, encourage healthy neighborhoods,
consider sustainability when making decisions and promote the community.
In addition to these ongoing areas of focus, the City Council pursued a
number of initiatives in 2011, which included:
• Entered into a dialog with representatives of the Village of Riverlea
regarding the proposal for Riverlea to become a part of the City of
Worthington and placing the issue on the ballot for voters to decide.
• Supported the redevelopment of the former Dalt’s restaurant
space and adjacent office building into a new headquarters for
Insight Bank.
• Enhanced the bicycle-friendliness of the community by approving the
installation of bicycle racks in Old Worthington and the city facilities.
• Adopted the Wilson Bridge Road Corridor Study to guide redevelopment
along Wilson Bridge Road.
• Approved development plans for the Shops at Worthington Place.
• Accepted a bid from Local Waste Services for solid waste collection services
that will save the City approximately $100,000 per year.
• Passed consent legislation in support of the I-270 and US 23 (High Street)
interchange improvements, including aesthetic improvements to enhance
the appearance of the interchange.

Economic Development
The Economic Development function
seeks to facilitate a strong, sustainable and
vibrant commercial sector in Worthington.
By employing economic development “best practices” to strengthen the City’s
business community, we can ensure a stable tax base exists now and into the
future from which the City can fund its services to residents.
Our economic development activities include working with new businesses that
want to locate in our community, meeting with existing businesses to ensure
they stay and grow in Worthington, cultivating relationships with developers
and investors to re-invest in the City’s commercial buildings and properties, and
interacting with the region’s economic developers to share Worthington’s story.
2011 Highlights
• The City attracted the headquarters of Insight Bank to redevelop and occupy
formerly vacant restaurant and office space next to the Shops at Worthington
Place. This project, along with the City’s continued support for the
investment occurring at the Shops at Worthington Place, demonstrates our
focus on redeveloping and repositioning the corner at West Wilson Bridge
Road and High Street for future success.
• The City gained commitments from several of its leading businesses to
add jobs and investment to their operations in Worthington. Diamond
Innovations, Mediu LLC, Mettler Toledo, and Prosper Business Development.
City Council approved the long-term study of the Wilson Bridge Road Corridor
to help guide future redevelopment of this key commercial area of the City.
• The City instituted regular reporting to track commercial building vacancies,
rental rates, and other data in comparison with other Central Ohio
communities to help the City better understand Worthington’s business
environment.
• The City interacted with developers, property owners, brokers and real
estate financiers to attract interest in Worthington’s inventory of commercial
properties. The City hosted site tours, gave large group presentations
and approached stakeholders to promote Worthington’s high quality
transportation access, City services and visibility.
2012 Projects
• The City will develop a procedure to implement recent changes in Ohio liquor
laws that allow Worthington to help create additional permits for restaurants
and other food businesses as part of our redevelopment efforts.
• The City continues to work with other cities around the region to develop
plans on how to best attract new businesses into Central Ohio and limit the
resources dedicated to companies moving around the region.
• As always, the City places a high value on attracting new business to
Worthington and meeting with existing businesses to support their efforts to
grow and thrive in place.

Division of Police
The Worthington Division of Police is a 24/7
operation that provides the community a
proactive approach to preventing crime and
enhancing the quality of life for our citizens. The Division is divided into two
bureaus: The Patrol Operations Bureau and the Support Services Bureau, each
working in concert to accomplish our common goal of providing exceptional
service. We are always mindful of our core values while we perform our daily
tasks.
2011 Highlights:
• The Division of Police in conjunction with the Griswold Center formed
Seniors and Law Enforcement Together (SALT) to provide a resource for
senior citizens.

to develop a volunteer base to assist the Division with its community
programs.
• Patrol operations personnel put together a multi pronged approach to reduce
accidents at the intersections of Wilson Bridge Rd. and High St. and SR 161
and High St.
• In an effort to identify and combat a growing opiate addiction problem in the
central Ohio area, the Division formed relationships with several community
and business groups to form a drug alliance coalition, Drug
Safe Worthington.
2012 Goals and Objectives:
• Explore means to communicate with the community during emergency
situations as well as during events that affect the community.
• Work with the schools to coordinate response plans and review lockdown
procedures.
• With the mission of providing the best possible service to the community
at a cost effective means, we propose to evaluate the feasibility of a shared

educating the public on crime prevention.

identify high crash locations and causative
factors.
