The Fine Print on Dublin's OSU Expansion
A few weeks ago we covered OSU Wexner Medical Center buying 16 more acres next to their Shier Rings Road facility — expanding their Dublin footprint by about 50%. At the time, the specifics were still being worked out. Dublin City Council just filled those in.
Under the ordinance introduced this week, OSU has committed to building a specialized medical facility of at least 150,000 square feet on the new land. That's a meaningful number — roughly the size of the existing building, which already houses urgent care, primary care, imaging, labs, and a range of specialties. What specific services are going in the new building hasn't been announced yet.
The more interesting detail is the deadline Dublin built into the deal. If OSU doesn't begin construction by December 31, 2031, the city retains the right to reclaim the land and return the $2.9 million purchase price. That's not a standard land sale — it's Dublin making sure the commitment is real before it gives up prime acreage permanently.
A few other terms worth noting: the city will fill an existing ditch, remediate wetlands on the site, and work with OSU to realign Old Avery Road to accommodate the larger campus. OSU also gets first right of offer on adjacent city-owned land, meaning Dublin can't sell nearby parcels to anyone else without giving OSU the chance to buy first.
For Dublin residents who've already made the switch to seeing their doctors on Shier Rings Road instead of driving downtown — more capacity is coming. The question now is what specialties land in that 150,000 square feet.

Your Out-of-Town Guests Just Got a Better Deal
If you've got friends or family coming in for the Irish Festival this year, do them a favor and send them this before they book anywhere. Staying at a participating Dublin hotel during festival weekend comes with two free tickets for every night they book — so a two-night stay covers four tickets. That's enough for two people to go both days, or four people to go one day.
It's one of those deals that makes the decision to stay close to the action a lot easier. The Irish Festival is already one of the best weekends of the summer — live music, Irish dancing, food, drinks, the whole thing. Having family or friends staying right here in Dublin instead of driving in from somewhere else makes it that much better.
Make sure they know before they book. Participating hotels are listed here.

Big Fall Ahead for Dublin Football
One thing that keeps amazing me about Dublin is our athletics — and this week we got one more reason to be proud. Scioto's football program was placed in Division II for this fall and decided that wasn't enough of a challenge. The Irish chose to opt up to Division I, where the state's biggest and most competitive programs play. First time they've been there since 2012.
Nobody pushed them into this. They made the call themselves, and that says everything about where this program believes it is right now.
Coffman and Jerome are already in Division I — so this fall, all three Dublin high schools are competing at Ohio's highest level of football at the same time. That's worth celebrating.

A Note From Nick
You Asked How to Help. Here’s How.
A few of you have reached out asking how you can support Dublin Daily — and honestly, it means a lot just to hear that. Here's what actually helps.
The single biggest thing: forward this to a neighbor, a friend, or anyone who loves Dublin and might not know we exist yet. Word of mouth is everything for a local newsletter. Or just share dublinohiodaily.com next time Dublin comes up in conversation.
If you ever have a tip — a local business worth spotlighting, an event coming up, something happening in your neighborhood — hit reply and tell us. That's the fuel that keeps this going.
We also have sponsors who make Dublin Daily free. If something catches your eye, click their links — it makes a real difference.
Thanks for being here. Dublin is a better place to live when we're all looking out for each other — and that's really what all this is about.
