(Cleveland.com)(Update: On July 24th a grand opening celebration was held to debut the new park.)
Construction has started on a 6.5-acre park off Fenwick Road, the city’s first significant recreational project in 20 years.
“It’s going to introduce an asset to the city that we don’t currently have,” Mayor Susan Infeld said. “It’s the type of amenity most people would expect to find in a community of homes, such as ours.”
In August, City Council hired Cavanaugh Building Corp. of Copley Township to build the park. To pay for it, voters approved a $1.8 million bond issue in November 2014. Property owners will repay the debt over 15 years, at a cost of about $25 a year on each $100,000 of home value.
