At 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, August 13, 2026, the Bluffton Planning Commission will hold a public meeting to consider an application from Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO).

The company is requesting the reclassification of a 15-acre parcel on Augsburger Rd by Willow Ridge from R-I Residential to R-III Residential zoning category.

The reclassification will enable MHCO to further develop senior living housing in Bluffton. The plan is to build duplexes for seniors.
