🎃 What a FUN October and Halloween weekend! 👻

A huge THANK YOU to our community, local businesses, and everyone who came out to make it so special! From the incredible turnout of trick-or-treaters to the businesses and neighborhoods who showed up and showed out, our talent truly came together!

Our newest police officer was VERY IMPRESSED impressed with what he saw — and it’s safe to say our community made quite the impression! 🤎

We may take it for granted sometimes, but what we have here is special. Thank you for making our community such a wonderful place to call home. 🧡

Notice of Public Hearing Amendment to Zoning Ordinance

Notice is hereby given that the Town Council of Osgood, Indiana, on the 15th day of October, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in the meeting room of the Osgood Town Hall, 147 W. Ripley Street, Osgood, IN 47037, will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance of Ripley County, Indiana, as certified by the Ripley County Area Planning Commission.

The certified amendment is seeking to establish an overlay district generally within areas currently zoned as GB (General Business), and LB (Local Business). It is particularly described on the overlay map located at the Ripley County Planning office, and the Town Hall for Osgood, Indiana, where the certified ordinance and map are available for inspection.

The overlay district would prohibit street level and first floor level residential uses in commercial or mixed-use buildings in non-residential classifications located within the overlay area. This does not impact originally designed single-family dwellings in non-residential zoning districts. It does not impact residential dwelling units in mixed-use structures located on the 1st floor when such dwelling units are accessed exclusively from the rear or side of the building and do not occupy street-facing storefront frontage and do not occupy more than 70% of the gross first floor area. The certified ordinance also amends the nonconforming use ordinance to say; that if a dwelling unit that is a non-conforming use is vacant for 180 days or more, its use shall not again be nonconforming.

Written suggestions or objections to the provisions of said proposed amendment may be filed with the Clerk-Treasurer for the Town of Osgood, on or before such meeting and will be heard by the Town Council at the time and place specified. Said hearing may be continued from time to time as may be necessary. Interested persons desiring to present their views upon the proposed amendment, either in writing or verbally, will be given the opportunity to be heard at the abovementioned time and place. In the event that said item is tabled or postponed, or the meeting is cancelled or postponed, the proposed amendment will be heard at the next regularly scheduled meeting. No further notification will be published.
