A proposal for a time capsule installation at the new city hall in Huber Heights sparked enthusiasm during the Arts and Beautification Commission meeting on July 21, 2025. Commission members discussed various options for the capsule, including its size and placement, with suggestions ranging from a smaller, more affordable version to a larger, more elaborate design.

One member highlighted the idea of burying the capsule underground, allowing for a structure to be built around it, reminiscent of a previous time capsule project at Northmont. The cost of the capsules varied significantly, with prices starting at around $600 and going up to $2,200 for larger models. The discussion revealed a strong interest in investing in the project, with one member proposing a $20,000 contribution to ensure a substantial capsule filled with meaningful items.

The meeting also touched on Huber Heights' designation as an America 250 community, with plans to engage more local groups in monthly activities. This initiative aims to foster community involvement and historical awareness, making the time capsule project a fitting addition to the city's ongoing efforts.

As the meeting concluded, members were encouraged to submit their investment pledges, emphasizing the collaborative spirit of the commission and the community's commitment to preserving its history for future generations.
