WORTHINGTON HISTORIC DISTRICT

THE WORTHINGTON HISTORIC DISTRICT is now a reality. This is a testament to the stewardship of our heritage for over 200 years of preserving and improving our extant structures and building high-quality new ones. It would be a mistake to view this as the end of an effort. Beginning now, we must be ever vigilant in preserving our structures. Our limited housing stock is especially important to our future development of quality neighborhoods and thriving businesses.

PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Worthington's most important community asset is its residential property. It's where our families live and make great investments. On July 12, 2010, City Council defeated an ordinance to add NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL to our LOW DENSITY APARTMENT zones. Now let’s remember the issue here: The owners want to place an antiques store in the house at 38-40 E. New England Avenue, a contributing property in the Worthington Historic District. The unanimous opposition of the neighbors stopped this tactic--with the support of the Olde Worthington Business Association and OWA. The plot thickens.
