Springfield Commission Tackles $2.69M Paving Contract, Data Center Moratorium in June 30 Session
The Springfield City Commission met June 30 for a regular meeting and a series of work sessions, with the largest dollar item on the agenda being a $2,690,398.90 emergency contract for street paving on Selma Road and East Main Street. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes of votes are not yet confirmed in the public record.
Road Resurfacing Contract
The commission was scheduled to vote on an emergency ordinance awarding a $2,690,398.90 contract to The Shelly Company for paving work on Selma Road and East Main Street. Because the item was filed as an emergency ordinance, it would take effect immediately upon passage. The meeting agenda lists this as a vote item, but published minutes confirming the result are not yet available.
Data Center Moratorium
A first-reading ordinance on the agenda would impose a six-month moratorium on new high-density computing facilities — commonly known as data centers — to allow the city time to review and study the issue. First readings are introductions only and do not result in a final vote at that meeting.
Columbus Avenue Rezoning
The commission held a public hearing on a proposed rezoning of 2.94 acres at 2725-2727 Columbus Avenue, Parcel No. 3150700023208051. The change would move the property from Springfield Township I-1 Industrial District to City I-LI Light Industrial District. The agenda indicates staff reports and public comment were part of the hearing. A related first-reading ordinance on the zoning change was also listed on the regular meeting agenda.
Property Sale and Winter Supplies
Two additional items were on the agenda for commission action:
- Sale of city-owned property at 1520 North Belmont Avenue to Cincinnati Bell Telephone Company LLC. The agenda does not list a sale price.
- Purchase of 3,450 tons of rock salt for winter 2026-2027 at a cost of up to $294,837.
Land Bank Work Session
In a separate work session, the commission received an informational update on the Clark County Land Bank from Executive Director Ethan Harris. No other business was listed, and no decisions were scheduled.
Public Comment Period
A procedural public comment period was also held June 30. The agenda lists only call to order, roll call, audience comments, commissioner comments, and adjournment — no specific items for discussion or decision.
