Stow and Hudson, Ohio Seasons Road and Route 8

What would you like to see go on the 120 acres at Seasons Road and the Route 8 interchange. Post your comments here and watch for the results.

Zoning officials are trying to gain approval to get 120 acres at Seasons road and the Route 8 interchange rezoned for industrial use from residential. If approved the area would see office and light industrial development occur. Stow, Ohio City Council will vote on the proposal at their January 11, 2007 meeting at 8pm.

The estimated cost of the project would be between $9- $11 million and would be expected to start in 2009. Stow and Hudson, Ohio would receive approximately $4 million from the state's transportation bill, and apply for additional funding through the Ohio Department of Transportation. Any excess costs would be split between Stow and Hudson, Ohio.

Pending approval from Stow, Ohio city council there would be one additional hurdle the project would have to clear. There are wetlands on the property which the buildings would be erected around. Approval for building around the wetlands would be needed from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers.

City officials are in favor of the project in order to attract business and additional tax dollars.
