In July, Hilliard was selected as a 2024-2025 Best Hometown by Ohio Magazine, and copies of the special commemorative issue are now available at newsstands across the state.
To purchase a single issue or a subscription to Ohio Magazine, visit their website or call 1-800-453-1025. The November/December Best Hometown issue can also be purchased at select newsstands, including Barnes & Noble and Wal Mart.
Each year, the publication recognizes places that make our state a great place to live, work and visit. The magazine selected Hilliard for three main reasons:
🔷Our preservation of local history.
🔷Our development of spaces the entire community can enjoy.
🔷Our support for small businesses in the city.
Hilliard is one of five featured communities featured in the November/December 2024 and July/August 2025 issues of Ohio Magazine, and online at ohiomagazine.com. Other communities recognized include Bryan, McConnelsville, Millersburg, and Urbana.
To determine the honorees, Ohio Magazine solicited nominations and conducted site visits across the state in the spring and summer. The editors evaluated the nominees in six categories — Community Spirit, Education, Entertainment, Health and Safety, Business Environment, and Culture and Heritage — to help finalize their selections.
