City Council - Sep 15, 2026
Powell is partnering with Liberty Township and Delaware County on a $700,000 Carriage Road upgrade east of a future roundabout site. The city's cost drops to about $10,500 thanks to county and state matching funds, and it sets up a 2028 roundabout construction push. Speed bumps on Carriage Road will not return.
