–Business Insider
newalbanyohio.org
An international business park designed with an emphasis on
aesthetics and world-class neighborhoods defined by the beauty of
Georgian architecture. You’ll find them both in New Albany.

A Look Back at 2015
It isn’t every year that your community gets chosen as the best suburb in America, but Business Insider named New Albany just that in 2015. Their recogni-tion reflects our master planning, commitment to green space and aspirational nature. Perhaps the most over-looked reason for this kind of recognition is the people that live here and help make this community so special.
You are friendly and welcoming, you know your neighbors, and many of you are resident ambassadors who genuinely care about New Albany and personally help make it better.
A lot of wonderful things happened here in New Albany in 2015, including:
New JobsLast year, New Albany gained 1,900 jobs, $600 million in private investment and 1.9 million square feet of commercial space. Today, more than 13,000 people work in New Albany and pay income taxes that support city and school services. Their employers have invested more than $2 billion into our
community and this commercial development reduces the number of residential units that can be built (and students in our schools).
New Healthy VenuesThe Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany (150 W. Main Street) opened after more than five years of planning and con-struction. The City of New Albany, Healthy New Albany, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Nationwide Children’s Hospital are collaboratively creating a community culture of health through fitness, health care and community programming. The Heit Center is a great place to get healthy, stay healthy, or just relax; and you don’t have to be a member of the fitness center to participate in Healthy New Albany pro-gramming. Stop by for a tour and see the many aspects of this new community asset.
The Rocky Fork Metro Park (7180 Walnut Street), a partner-ship between New Albany, Plain Township, Columbus, and the Metro Parks, recently received the Governor’s Award for the

best Ohio park project in 2015. This 1,000+ acre park includes New Albany’s first dog park, running trails, horse trails, a shelter and a playground.
Other Notable 2015 Projects Chatham Green/High Street Intersection: The City made this project a priority to help address safety issues due to more students walking to school. Components included a traffic signal, crosswalks, a leisure trail from the school campus to Kardules Fields Drive, left turn lanes, road repaving and storm water infrastructure.
New Trails: Our 33-mile trail system now includes connections from the school campus to subdivisions along Central College Road. We also completed the Dublin-Granville Road Trail from the Ealy House to Market Street.
Resch Park: This park, located along Rose Run just west of the Ealy House, was dedicated last year in recognition of Bill Resch’s decades of service to our community.
Safety Town: Thanks to a $25,000 donation from State Farm and other donations from the New Albany Women’s Network, the New Albany Community Foundation, Key Bank, Maple Or-thodontics, Rainbow Pediatrics, Mount Carmel Health Systems and Captain Carwash, our children learn safety tips in a little town of brick buildings all their own.
Annual Street Maintenance Program: We invested more than $1 million for street repair throughout New Albany.
Community DialogueWe continued our efforts to update you, facilitate dialogue and invite you to be involved through our collaboration with tradi-tional media, community updates and social media efforts. If you would like to start receiving our e-newsletter, register for it at www.newalbanyohio.org. Also look for us on Facebook, Twitter, Nextdoor and Instagram, and watch for our new and enhanced website later this year.

EventsNew Albany hosted some of central Ohio’s most popular events again in 2015, including the New Albany Classic & Grand Prix (voted best specialty equestrian event in America for four straight years), the New Albany Walking Classic, the A&F Challenge, Pelotonia, the Thanks4Giving four mile run and walk; and com-munity celebrations like the Chamber’s Taste of New Albany, Founders Day and Independence Day. These events bring the community together and provide opportunities for tens of thou-sands of visitors to see just how special our community is.
FinancesAs this annual report was being produced, the city attained a “Aaa” bond rating from Moody’s, the highest rating a govern-ment can receive. New Albany is one of only six cities in Ohio to carry triple A ratings from both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. We are also now participating in the Ohio Checkbook program where residents can see every check written by the city. Finally, we have included breakdowns in this report of where your tax dollars go; and, as a follow-up to last year’s An-nual Report, how abatements work to benefit our schools and our community from revenue and land use perspectives. We appreciate the trust you have in us to be your elected leaders.
If after reading this report you still have questions, email them to info@newalbanyohio.org.
Sincerely,
2015 New Albany City Council
(l to r) Sloan Spalding, Dr. Glyde Marsh, Chip Fellows, Mayor Nancy Ferguson, Colleen Briscoe, Stephen Pleasnick, Mike Mott*
*Note: Sloan Spalding was elected mayor in November 2015 and took office on January 1, 2016; current council members include: Mayor Sloan Spalding, President Pro Tem Colleen Briscoe, Chip Fellows, Dr. Glyde Marsh, Mike Mott, Stephen Pleasnick and Matt Shull

Nancy Ferguson – An Unforgettable Mayor, A Lasting LegacyWe can’t look back on 2015 without recognizing the passion-ate service of our former mayor, Nancy Ferguson. Nancy decided not to run for re-election after representing the public’s interests for nearly two decades.
Nancy was introduced to New Albany at the 1991 Parade of Homes. At that time, New Albany had less than 1,000 resi-dents, it was one square mile, and there were 17 new homes in the country club community. Still, Nancy loved the vision of the community and its unique architecture. She knew it was going to be a successful place so she and her husband Gerald purchased their lot shortly thereafter.
When she first started serving on Council in 1997, New Albany looked a lot different. Imagine no Market Square (not even a Starbucks). No McCoy Center. No business park. No metro park. No trail system. No Heit Center. Not even a Village Hall. So much has changed and so many amenities have been built. Through it all, Nancy was a constant.
While Nancy would be the first to credit all the City Council members she served with, as well as so many residents who
have helped make New Albany the best suburb in America, those who met her walked away knowing her warmth, charm and commitment to New Albany.
Thank you for your service, Nancy!

While beautiful homes and a picturesque landscape surrounded by our iconic white horse fence are often the first descriptions of New Albany, we are also home to the largest master planned business park in the Midwest. City Council’s policies and actions demonstrate a commitment to less than one unit per acre for new residential developments and New Albany’s residential density of 0.35 units per acre is by far the lowest of any central Ohio comparable city. Below is a snapshot of our land use today.
40% Commercial New Albany International Business Park is the largest master planned commercial park in Ohio with three interchanges
36% Residential 0.35 units per acre, the lowest residential density of all comparable central Ohio cities
• Dublin and Powell: 1.1 units per acre
• Worthington, Westerville and Gahanna: > 1.5 units per acre
• Upper Arlington: 2.2 units per acre
• Bexley: 3.1 units per acre
13% Right-of-Way/Civic, Institutional, Governmental
11% Open Space• Counting Rocky Fork Metro Park, which abuts New Albany, this number
becomes >20%
• 33 miles of leisure trails connecting all facets of New Albany
• Park or open space within ¼ mile of most neighborhoods

New Albany Land Use
10 2015 New Albany Annual Report | newalbanyohio.org
Why does the City use abatements?
• They help generate development that grows our local, regional and state economy.
• They help provide exponentially more city and school revenues than if development never occurred.
• They help reduce the number of students in our schools.
Throughout 2015, we utilized mailings, the local newspaper and information on our website, e-newsletters and social media to generate community conversations about the benefits of abatements.
This section highlights the most important information we shared.
ABATEMENTS HELP GROW OUR REGION“Job creation is a critical factor in moving everyone forward—our local communities, our region and our state. Communities that actively work to build business partnerships are creating a better region for all of us.”Kenny McDonald, President and Chief Economic Officer for Columbus 2020
11 newalbanyohio.org | 2015 New Albany Annual Report
ABATEMENTS HELP SUPPORT OUR SCHOOLS
10x more $Because of income tax sharing whenever an abatement was in effect, our schools received nearly $59 million
in total business park tax revenues from 1998-2015. This is more than 10x the total revenues our schools would have received without business park development ($5.7 million), all while producing 0 new students.
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS OUR RESIDENTS
$1,964Had the business park remained undeveloped, the median New Albany household ($485,200 home value; $185,076
income) would have to pay $1,964 more annually to maintain their current level of school and city services.
$2,346Had the business park developed residentially, as it was originally zoned, more than 1,900 homes and
1,400 new students would have been added to our schools, and the median household would have to pay $2,346 more annually to maintain school and city services.

13 newalbanyohio.org | 2015 New Albany Annual Report
14 2015 New Albany Annual Report | newalbanyohio.org
BUSINESS PARK PROPERTY TAXES HAVE TRIPLED
3xThis occurs because abatements apply to improvements to the land but not the land itself. A commercial
designation increases the land value and leads to more property tax revenues for our schools. Plus, while the abatement is in effect, the City of New Albany shares its income tax revenues with our schools
in addition to the property tax revenues the schools receive.
1998-2015 Actual Business Park Operating Property Taxes to Schools . . . . $17.66 million School Property Taxes if Business Park Did Not Develop . . . . . . $ 5.7 million
ABATEMENTS ARE TEMPORARY
<15Property tax abatements can’t last longer than 15 years (and are often in effect for less time),
they can’t be renewed, they are not guaranteed, and companies that do not meet their contractual obligations can lose them.
15 newalbanyohio.org | 2015 New Albany Annual Report
INCOME TAXES PAY FOR CITY SERVICES
82% • 2% • 0%Income taxes from the jobs created in New Albany generate 82% of all city general fund revenues which pay
for city services like police protection, road maintenance, trails, snow plowing and leaf collection. This is important because:
• Those who work in New Albany, regardless of where they live, pay income taxes to New Albany.
• The City of New Albany receives just two percent (2%) of all resident property taxes, or $59.41 of every $2,955.20 in taxes per $100,000 valuation.
• Most residents who work elsewhere pay no New Albany income taxes.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ABATEMENTS?Abatements are critical to our global commercial development efforts and shared income taxes
from business park development have produced 10x more revenue (nearly $59 million) for our schools than they would have received without development ($5.7 million). Commercial development also reduces
the number of homes in the community and the number of students in our schools. If you still have questions, send them to info@newalbanyohio.org.

Property TaxesProperty taxes are based on the local tax rate (in mills) and the taxable value of the property. In 2015, the Franklin County Auditor determined annual property taxes for City of New Albany households to be $2,955.20 per $100,000 fair market value based upon the mills for Tax District 222 – City of New Albany, Franklin County, New Albany Plain Local Schools, Plain Township Fire. (This millage rate does not include the 4.75 mills paid by most New Albany residents to the New Albany Community Authority for debt on the New Albany High School building, Fodor Road improvements and fire station improvements and equipment.)
Income TaxesThe City of New Albany levies a two percent local income tax on gross wages, salaries and other personal services compensation. This tax is also levied on net profits of corporate headquarters and small businesses based in New Albany. In 2015, local income taxes accounted for 82% of all city general fund revenues and are typically paid to the community where people work, not where they live. Most New Albany residents pay no income taxes to New Albany because the city provides them a 100% credit for income taxes they pay to other communities. This is why creating jobs inside New Albany borders is so critical.

At a GlanceNew Albany, Ohio is a master planned community of 9,000 residents located fifteen miles northeast of Columbus, Ohio’s capital city, and ten miles from the Port Columbus International Airport. New Albany’s pastoral setting, timeless architecture, world-class amenities and attention to detail offer an exceptional quality of life for its residents. New Albany is home to one of the largest master planned international business parks in the Midwest, featuring dual feed electric power and fiber optic capa-bilities for companies of all sizes.
ServicesNew Albany provides a range of municipal services, including police protection, street maintenance, sewer and storm water infrastructure maintenance, snow removal, leaf collection, planning, zoning and construction inspections. All New Albany residents receive their fire and emergency medical services from the Plain Township Fire Department, a separate entity from the City of New Albany. Health services are provided by the Frank-lin County Board of Health.
Home Rule CharterNew Albany residents approved the community’s first charter in 1992, giving the city greater local control and flexibility than the
statutory form. Ohio statutes govern only on matters that the New Albany Charter does not address. The charter is reviewed every ten years and any proposed revisions to the charter must be ap-proved by the New Albany electorate before they can be enacted.
Style of GovernmentNew Albany utilizes the Council-Manager form of government, which combines political leadership of elected officials with the managerial experience of an appointed, professional city man-ager who serves as the city’s CEO.
Mayor & City Council City Council is the legislative branch of government consisting of seven members, one of whom is the mayor. City Council and mayoral elections are held in November of odd-numbered years and are non-partisan. City Council members are elected by residents to four-year terms. The mayor, in addition to the powers, rights and duties of a City Council member, presides over meetings and often acts as a spokesperson to other govern-ments. The mayor has no veto powers.
City Council has been granted certain powers by the Ohio Constitution, the laws of the State of Ohio and the New Alba-ny Charter. These powers are exercised through the adoption of ordinances and resolutions. Among other things, the charter gives City Council the authority to create and abolish depart-ments, commissions, boards and committees, audit accounts and records, conduct inquiries and investigations, levy taxes, enforce laws and regulations, adopt a budget and appropri-ate funds, adopt building and zoning regulations, and hire a city manager.
2015 New Albany City Council

Note: Sloan Spalding was elected mayor in November 2015 and took office on January 1, 2016; current council members include: Mayor Sloan Spalding, President Pro Tem Colleen Briscoe, Chip Fellows, Dr. Glyde Marsh, Mike Mott, Stephen Pleasnick and Matt Shull
