Solon Holding Town Hall On Rezoning Issue

SOLON, OH — Solon officials will hold a town hall meeting about the rezoning of the vacant Liberty Ford and Solon Motel property. The meeting will be held at the site on September 25.

Voters will be deciding the possible rezoning of that property in November. Officials want to convert that land into a mixed-use development featuring restaurants, retail shops, residential units and office space.

Mayor Ed Kraus will lead the town hall on September 25. The meeting will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 32811 Aurora Road. Light refreshments will be provided to attendees.

Real estate development firm ICP, which is working with Solon officials on the redevelopment, will also attend the meeting and will answer any questions residents pose.

The Liberty Ford and Solon Motel properties are wedged between Solon Road and Aurora Road.

In December 2018, officials said they wanted to use the Liberty Ford site as a test-case for the new mixed-use designation.
