Sunday's Dispatch said according to the Mid Ohio Regional Planning Commission 47 acres of  Central Ohio farmland becomes residential subdvisions and shopping centers each day.  The Columbus Dispatch wrote:

 

"Attempts to break sprawl’s stranglehold on central Ohio are failing."

 

 

 

Driving around Westerville, Lewis Center the Polaris area I kept obsessing "47 acres each day?" ... does 47 acres include developments like Westar?   I went home and reread the article and am still not sure.

 

 

"The region is losing 47 acres of farmland a day to subdivisions and shopping centers, theMid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission says." according to the Columbus Dispatch.
