Background:
A boundary adjustment between the City of Columbus and the City of Upper Arlington has been proposed.

The proposed adjustment moves the City of Columbus corporate boundary northward along Henderson Road. The transfer will place the entirety of the right-of-way within the City of Upper Arlington.
This legislation is being filed in response to the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code - section 709.37 regarding municipal boundary adjustments.
