This week's #GOPCThread focuses on @CityofLimaOH the county seat of Allen County in Northwest Ohio. Lima was founded in 1831 on land occupied by the Shawnee before they were driven to Kansas by European settlers.
In the early 1800s much of northwest OH was referred to as #GreatBlackSwamp and was covered with wetlands and forests. The wet conditions in this area were ideal for mosquitos and as a result, malaria was endemic to the region. #GOPCThread
Some accounts say the buggy setting was instrumental in choosing the city’s name. Despite the Ohioans pronunciation of a /ī/ the name may have been chosen to recognize Lima, Peru’s critical role as source of the anti-malaria drug quinine. #GOPCThread
Two weeks ago, we featured on our #GOPCThread the legacy cities which received the first-ever Transformational Mixed-Use Development Tax Credits, or #TMUD

Today marks St. Patrick’s Day, a day to celebrate “all things Irish”. More than 14% of Ohio’s population can claim Irish Heritage.
That got us thinking about the heritage and diversity of Ohio. Most Ohioans are descended from immigrants who migrated here from someplace, and even today, Ohio continues to benefit from new generations of immigrants who are looking for new opportunities in the Buckeye State.
This week, our #GOPCThread looks at the immigrant generations of the past and present who have contributed to Ohio's amazing diversity & made the state an economic powerhouse

GOPC is a strong advocate for active transportation & investment in infrastructure to ensure safe travel for all mode users. This week, our #GOPCThread will kick-off a new initiative where we will share good infrastructure ideas we find locally, nationally & internationally
We are doing this as a way to promote the type of investments we think #Ohio and its communities should be making now in order to prepare for the future #GOPCThread
Pedestrian deaths spiked in the US during the height of the pandemic. While a lot of factors likely contributed to these higher rates, one thing is certain: promoting safe accommodation of all users should be key for future infrastructure planning nytimes.com/2022/02/14/us/…
Today’s #GOPCThread discusses #The614forLinden & the success the 11+ member collaborative has had in implementing @ColumbusGov‘s #OneLinden Plan. GOPC has been helping evaluate its impacts in the neighborhood over 3 years. Check out our report from Year 2: bit.ly/3HObbWo
