PUBLIC HEARING MAY 27, 2008 6pm - Participation by Harrison Township in a Joint Economic District (JEDD) with Pataskala
and Newark.
The Harrison Township Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 at 6:00 P.M., at the Harrison
Township Complex located at 6750 Outville Road.  The purpose of the hearing is to discuss the JEDD Agreement between
the City of Pataskala, City of Newark and the Harrison Township Trustees.
Harrison Township has been invited by the city of Pataskala to participate in the new development district located totally
within the city of Pataskala in order to form a JEDD. Ohio Revised Code mandates a township and a city with an income tax
be involved.

The final documents for forming a Joint Economic Development District has been submitted and must be reviewed in a
Hearing.  This event will be open to the public with the Township Trustees conducting the meeting.  We have scheduled
that "Hearing" meeting for Tuesday, May 27th a 6:00 PM at the Township Complex.
The Harrison Township Trustees invite you to come and see, at this required public forum, what this participation involves.  
Should you have any questions, please bring them to the meeting.

As you may by now be aware, ProLogis, the developer with a major financial interest in this project has withdrawn from
participation.  The Trustees think this may be a very good time to show Harrison Township citizens what had transpired to
bring us to the brink of a major development and its ultimate demise.  Please come and see.  In light of these events, there
is no need for a special meeting to vote on our participation, so the time has been reserved for a hearing only.  We, the
Trustees, will decide in the next two weeks if any other business will be conducted on the same evening.  We do have
other items that we may want to discuss and that would be the perfect forum for such a meeting.  Again, the hearing will be
held at 6:00 PM, on May 27th, at the Harrison Township Complex, 6750 Outville Road, Pataskala, OH.

The following documents are available for review.

DRAFT JEDD Agreement
