Throughout 2025, the City will be working on the development of “Our Gahanna,” an updated Strategic Plan that will set the direction and goals for Gahanna for the next several years. As senior members of the community, we value your wisdom, vision, and ideas for the future of our city.

We invite you to join Mayor Jadwin and Senior Director Miranda Vollmer on Tuesday, January 21, for an interactive conversation about “Our Gahanna”. The meeting will last approximately one hour.
