The purpose of the P-1 Public District is to create a zoning district to preserve and protect the unique and substantial investment made by generations in the Grove City College campus, which creates an atmosphere where learning, scholarship and research may flourish. It is also meant to recognize the unique needs of major areas owned by local government, including the Grove City Area School District. The district is also meant to protect neighboring areas of private residential uses from land use conflicts due to disparities of size and scale of development.
