Suburban growth remains strong in central Ohio

The number of people living in Grandview Heights grew by the largest percentage among all Franklin County cities last year, according to census estimates released Thursday. The suburb's population increased by about 5 percent and is now home to 7,628 people. Grandview Yard, the 125-acre mixed-use development on the city's east side, on the site of a former warehouse, is likely a major factor in the growth, Mayor Ray DeGraw said.
