π₯ Sweetgreen plans second Columbus location in downtown Dublin. The national salad and bowl chain is expanding its Central Ohio presence after just arriving in the Columbus market last year. While details about the new location remain limited, this marks continued growth for the fast-casual restaurant known for its healthy offerings. The expansion follows Sweetgreen's initial Columbus location, which opened in 2024. This development adds to Dublin's growing restaurant scene, which has recently seen other eateries expanding their spaces and hours.
βοΈ ACLU wins round one in battle for ICE records. The Ohio Supreme Court has allowed a lawsuit to proceed against Geauga County officials who refused to release ICE-related documents. Filed by the ACLU of Ohio, the case challenges the county sheriff's claim that federal law prevents disclosure of communications and contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The court has given both parties 20 days to submit arguments and evidence. This lawsuit is part of a broader ACLU effort, with similar cases filed against Seneca County in Ohio and ICE officials in Michigan.
ποΈ Plain City residents chart community's future in interactive workshop. The Village recently hosted its first Picture Plain City Community Workshop, drawing a large crowd eager to share ideas about local development. For those who missed the in-person event, an online platform now offers four interactive activities where residents can share their vision, map improvement areas, suggest initiatives, and provide personal perspectives. The self-paced digital engagement tool allows everyone to contribute to the Comprehensive Plan update at their convenience. A second Community Workshop is planned for later this year with details to be announced on Village platforms.
