OSU Exurban Change Program

There are two new additions to the Exurban Change Program web site, http://exurban.osu.edu .


Along with the Swank Program, we have published an update to the 2003 Growth and Change report. This report uses Census population estimates to demonstrate Ohio 's weak population growth and to track the movement of population across Ohio : http://exurban.osu.edu/growth_change07.htm .


We have recently compiled a series of resources on the topic of Supportive Agricultural Zoning in Ohio , and made these available on our website ( http://exurban.osu.edu/EX5.htm ). These include:

• a policy brief written in conjunction with the Center for Farmland Policy Innovation (Zoning in Support of Agriculture in Ohio : What are the Options?)
• a white paper written and researched in conjunction with the OSU Agricultural Law Program (Does AG stand for Anything Goes?: an Analysis of Agricultural Zoning Districts)
• PDFs of selected Ohio zoning resolutions that actively support agriculture
