Phase 10 Plat is ready
The last time I updated, there were only six phases and now we are at ten. It looks like they skipped ahead a few phases to get some other streets built out. There has been a lot of activity going on over the summer and a lot of big equipment making new streets. We are all looking forward to Hawthorne Parkway being connected to the neighboring neighborhood and access to Buckeye Parkway. Take a look at the new page now!

Phase 6 Plat has dropped
There has not been a lot of new development activity since Phase 5A a year ago. But, the Phase 6 application was just sent in last week. We saw the sign out while riding our new bikes. This will extend Hawthorne Parkway a bit out to Sweet Basil Lane. It does not complete the throughway, but it is a first significant extension since the development started. The construction for Phase 5A has yet to start, so they are at least a year behind from application to construction. Looking forward to the new work though.
I will be working on some new resources for events coming up in the spring and summer. So stay tuned for that.
Fall 2022 Leaf Collection
The city of Grove City is starting their residential leaf collection this week. They have broken the city up into four areas with each having two separate collection weeks from October 17th through December 16th. The main thing to remember is to rake the leaves into the tree lawn and not into the street. Make sure not to include sticks and rocks as these can damage equipment. For more information and questions, please see the GroveCity.gov website.
Fall 2022 Paper Shredding
Grove City will be organizing a Paper Shredding Day on Saturday September 24, 2022 from 8AM to 1PM. The event will take place at Park Street Intermediate School which is at 3205 Park St.

New Pages Added
The construction has been going along nicely at the Farmstead and the new phases are starting to pick up as Phase 2 is just about fully constructed. There also have been a small change to Phase 5 and it has been split into two phases to be considered. I am leaving the Phase 5 page as is for now to serve as a historical record, but will eventually remove it from the links to reduce the clutter. But without further ado, here are the new pages added tonight!
I am also thinking of a few other ideas to act as a good resource to existing and potential residents of the Farmstead. I hope to get those up this spring.

Phases 3 & 4 Plat
This week I saw that the Phase 3 and Phase 4 Plat applications hit the Grove City Development Department. They are not approved yet, so there are just the Application and Plan Sheets available. I am surprised that these two were applied for so soon considering Phase 2 is only half sold out and Sub Area H has just started up and not selling yet. Either way, there are new documents to view on their pages. I will follow them along and see if they get approved and have more documents.
I also need to go through the other pages and see if there were any updated documents. I do not think I saw any, but I will double check. Our hole has started this past week, so we are exciting to get things moving along.
