Grove City officials and a citizens group are negotiating a compromise on a proposed charter amendment that would require voter approval for large industrial developments. The amendment, if approved, would mandate a referendum for projects occupying over 50 acres or using significant amounts of water or power, with developers covering associated costs and complying with inspection standards. The group Protect Grove City aims to ensure community control over industrial projects, amid opposition from local businesses and the chamber of commerce, who fear the amendment could hinder economic growth. The negotiations are scheduled to conclude before a Sept. 3 special meeting, with the amended proposal to appear on the Nov. 3 ballot.
