​

Good morning, Dublin. Fresh salad enthusiasts can celebrate as Sweetgreen prepares to plant its second Columbus-area location right here in Dublin. The national fast-casual chain is doubling down on Central Ohio just a year after arriving in the market, adding another healthy dining option to our increasingly diverse restaurant landscape. This expansion comes as other local eateries are also growing their footprints and extending their hours across the city.

Meanwhile, transparency advocates scored a victory as the Ohio Supreme Court allowed the ACLU's lawsuit against Geauga County officials to proceed, challenging their refusal to release ICE-related documents. And for those who missed Plain City's first community planning workshop, your vision for the future hasn't gone unheardβ€”a new online platform now offers four interactive activities where you can map improvements, suggest initiatives, and help shape the Village's Comprehensive Plan from the comfort of your home.
