Ground breaking planned for Ashtabula industrial park

ASHTABULA - - After nearly 11 years of planning and work by the Ashtabula City Port Authority, there will be a ground-breaking ceremony at the end of this month for the Ashtabula City Industrial Park.

The ceremony will start at 10:30 a.m. May 29 at the front entrance of the park, off East 6th St., just east of the north end of Route 11. U.S. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette, R-Concord, will be there, as well as local dignitaries, leaders and residents who made the park possible.

"We waited so long for this," said Josephine Misener, vice president of Ashtabula City Council. "I'll be there."

The city Port Authority plans to have the business park built this fall, with nearly $300,000 of the city's money and $62,500 of Ashtabula County's money.

The new $1.3 million park will be built on 42 acres at East 6th Street and Route 11.

The Port Authority also received a $375,000 rural development initiative fund grant and a $375,000 rural industrial park loan at 3 percent throughout 15 years to develop the new business park.

Funding for the business park was the result of LaTourette's efforts, said Janet Discher, deputy director of Growth Partnership for Ashtabula County. The grant application process was a collaborative effort of the Growth Partnership staff.

Port Authority Chairman, Ron Kister, has repeatedly said he's excited about the project because it will result in jobs for the city.

For the past month or so, City Council discussed revising sewer and water tap-in fees in a way to stimulate economic growth and lure businesses into the new industrial park.

Some believe city solicitor is holding up progress
