Grove City pedestrian bridge, Heath Hills delayed, Governor Dewine signs 2-year capital budget

[00:00:00]It's a beautiful Tuesday morning Central Ohio and you already know it's time for your morning minute. Construction has already started on a pedestrian bridge in Grove City that's part of a much bigger plan to connect the region. The project is designed to make it easier and safer for people to walk and bike in Grove City by crossing I-71 on Hoover Road. This is a small part of the LinkUs initiative that calls for more than 500 miles of new sidewalks, bike paths, and trails across Central Ohio. And Heath City Council once again delaying a vote on the controversial Heath Hills housing development. Council postponed a vote for a zoning change the development needed to move forward. It would bring 550 homes to Heath. The problem, the children in those homes would go to school in neighboring Granville. The district says it would increase their enrollment by about a third causing operating costs to skyrocket. The vote was pushed to August 3rd. Governor Mike DeWine has signed the state's new two-year capital budget. It totals 3.7 billion dollars in investments across the state. These spending plans funds upgrades to college campuses, state parks, behavioral health hospitals, and more. And that was your morning minute.
