Situation

∗ The Woodville Mall, northwest Ohio’s first enclosed mall in 1968, is no longer an asset in the community. ∗ Over the course of numerous property owners who invested little into the property and running the tenants out, it was finally acquired by the City of Northwood at Sheriff’s sale in February 2016 for $200,000. ∗ The city began it’s due diligence to assess the full costs of cleanup.

Mission: Why it’s our problem

Environmental Issues

Three buildings with several challenges remain:

1. Former Andersons Store 2. Former Elder Beerman Store 3. Former Tireman Store 50,000 sq. ft. of ACM- tiles 771,844 sq. ft. of spray-on ACM insulation covering the entire footprint of the buildings, concrete walls, I-beams, ceiling tiles, hard plaster ceilings, floors. Complete listing can be found in the Remedial Action Plan Deemed too expensive for private sector to fix!

Mission: Why it’s our problem

Perception

∗ Northwood is a dying community with high commercial vacancy (208,000 sq. ft. of commercial space is still showing as vacant, but move in ready on national databases). ∗ Northwood has nothing to offer businesses. ∗ The buildings pose a threat to the city’s general welfare

Reality

∗ Northwood is a growing and stable community ∗ Northwood is home to Wood County’s largest employers, like Norplas, NAMSA, FedEx, and now Buckeye Broadband (1000 new jobs). ∗ The buildings, if not removed, do pose a threat to the city’s general welfare.

slide-10
SLIDE 10

∗ We have undertaken every action possible to lead up to the point of remediating the site.

∗ Acquired parcels (Sears parcel was recently acquired in May 2018) ∗ 10 year low interest loan received from OWDA

∗ Selected Midwest Environmental for Demo / Asbestos removal ∗ Costs to remediate site: Est: $2mm +

∗ $1,567,000 for ACM abatement ∗ $450-500,000 for demolition

∗ Goal to remediate site: Summer 2018 ∗ Begin Site Planning and Visioning Process

Execution

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Execution- Site Planning

∗ Site Planning Issues

∗ Environmental – No floodplains, wetlands, natural hazards ∗ Utilities

∗ Water/Sewer/On Site Storm Retention ∗ Electrical Capacity: 12.5kV (2.5 megawatts of capacity). 138kV and 345kV transmission circuits are in close proximity. 138kV can accommodate loads of up to 100 megawatts, and 345kV is sufficient to run a NorthStar / BlueScope steel factor.

∗ Transportation / Connectivity – Located on / near I-280 ∗ School travel plan – improve pedestrian connectivity opportunities ∗ Zoning (Currently zoned Central Business District)

∗ Can be modified to align with preferred vision and / or end user (s)

∗ Economic (Incentives / Resources)

∗ CRA / Jobs Grants / Jobs Ohio-DSA CDBG ED Loans

Considerations

∗ Property Owner’s Interests ∗ Community’s Interests ∗ Adjacent Property Owner’s Interests ∗ Community’s Resources (to improve infrastructure,

  • ffer incentives, etc.)

∗ Market Realities (The economic activity in the region, it’s competitiveness, labor market, tax structure, utility costs, global conditions….)

Mixed Use Site Plan Strengths: 1. Builds upon market strengths and current development trends (Need for single family residential; Perrysburg / Northwood markets well suited for senior housing and living

  • pportunities for “downsizers” wanting to remain in the

community and “age in place” in a life cycle neighborhood)

  • 2. Supports and accentuates value of adjacent neighborhoods
  • 3. Supports community’s desire for properly scaled, tactical

commercial development

  • 4. Aligns with the financial capacity of the community: Allows

project to be phased over time

  • 5. Aligns with resident’s desire to finally have “Main Street”
  • 6. Supports community desire for public uses …..

Site Planning

Supports and promotes additional public uses that could include a recreational component and even an outdoor amphitheater. 1.5 miles of Bike/walking trails are already factored into the draft site plan.

Preliminary site cost considerations only include: The assets pertaining to the developing the main thoroughfare to the site, e.g., “Main Street” and its supportive infrastructure like water/sewer/storm utilities and design/landscaping

  • amenities. A potential

roundabout along SR 579 would help to improve safety.

Next Steps

∗ Remediate site ∗ Continue to extract community feedback ∗ Refine site planning process to account for visioning session results, market realities and community resources ∗ Establish project financing schedule ∗ Market idea / site plan to development community ∗ Information on the project can be found on the city’s website or by calling the city’s leadership.
