Big goals only matter if they bring people together to connect, grow and prosper. That’s our north star as Lindsay and Bruce sit down with Mayor Chris Amorose Groomes and Vice Mayor Cathy De Rosa to chart Dublin’s next moves: keep the community connected and competitive through investments in the places and systems that support daily life.
We share how new council members add fresh perspectives to four clear priorities that drive the year ahead. Think about bold recreation with the acquisition of the 240-plus-acre Sports Ohio campus. Think of a five-year, $375 million capital plan that upgrades roads, utilities, and technology while revitalizing Metro Center. We dig into why staying relevant isn’t about the next shiny thing; it's about disciplined investment that attracts jobs and supports the services residents value.
You’ll also hear updates on projects that change how we connect. Citywide fiber is nearing completion, unlocking faster work and learning at home. Regional light rail efforts move into phase two with an eye on a Dublin stop, while the future Signature Trail aims to link the city east to west with safer, wider active transport. And talk about a packed 2026 event calendar: America's 250th celebration, the 50th anniversary of the Memorial Tournament, new Jack Nicklaus–inspired public artwork and Christkindlmarkt coming to Riverside Crossing Park. It all comes together for a year designed to spark pride, joy and a stronger sense of belonging.
