Community engagement is at the heart of this planning process. Over the next several months, we’ll be hosting in-person events and online activities to hear directly from you—the residents, business owners, and stakeholders who know Plain City best.
Getting involved will be easy. Whether you stop by a local event, take a quick survey, or share your ideas online, there will be plenty of ways to participate.
Each engagement opportunity will give the community a chance to:
- Learn about the planning process and what’s been done so far
- Share thoughts, ideas, and concerns
- Help shape a shared vision for the future of Plain City
Your voice matters. Your input will directly guide the priorities and recommendations of this plan.

Small town, feel with an uptown area thriving with small businesses. Development is inevitable but would like to see SFH vs Multi-Fam homes.

A small community anchored by SFH, with limited or no multi-family housing of any kind. That's not what Plain City is about!

My vision is to hopefully keep the small village, semi-rural feel and not overdevelop like every other generic suburb.

My vision is we don’t turn into another Columbus suburb. We keep the little farm land we have. Maybe add a market. No more subdivisions.
