H PURPOSE BALANCING EXPANSION, RM For Mayor Patrick Closser, the story of London, Ohio is one of balance— preserving the tight-knit community spirit that defines the city while embracing the opportunities of rapid growth. “We’re a town of about 10,500 right now,” he says, “but we’re growing every day. Growth brings change, and change can be tough for some, but the community has really embraced it. People see the new faces, the new businesses, and they’re excited.” 94 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 12
