He said the south-side path will be 11 feet wide and a six-foot paved path will be installed on the north side.

On downtown and the PumpHouse District, the mayor reported completion of renovation at 16 East Main Street and said the old PumpHouse site is planned for a Hilton Home2 Suites hotel of about 90 rooms. He said Vision Development is proposing market-rate apartments in the PumpHouse area and that the company anticipates investing nearly $50,000,000 to build approximately 150–200 units.

In the industrial park the mayor reported that Amazon is building an 84,000 square-foot last-point distribution center at US 250 and Wells Road that is expected to employ about 100 people and that site work, including a retention pond, is underway. He also said site prep is under way for a 200,000-square-foot facility behind Novatex and SJ Rhombus and that other redevelopment work is planned at National Latex and the Caraustar site, supported by a roughly $1,800,000 state grant for cleanup projects.

The mayor described several housing projects around the city, including upscale condominiums on Smith and Behney roads led by Hunsinger Builders, a potential subdivision in Milton Township, and a large southern development along US 42 between King Road and Mifflin Avenue expected to add several hundred market-rate townhouses and single-family homes. He said annexation and utility upgrades will be necessary for some projects.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025 State of the City Address","oneSentenceSummary","The mayor announced a $2,000,000 state grant (plus $250,000) for an 11-foot multipurpose path on US 250 and described several downtown, industrial and housing projects including a planned 90-room Home2 Suites, a Vision Development apartment project, and an 84,000 sq ft Amazon distribution center.","taxTitle","Ashland City Council, Ashland, Ashland, Ohio","taxId",71249,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6342381,"Ashland mayor reports 315 city streets, 220 resurfaced historically; 15 streets and about 22 alleys resurfaced in 2024",87,257000,344000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2255280-7cd55c09f8bd9a28fea10df07cd9de8e&start=257&end=344","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2255280-7cd55c09f8bd9a28fea10df07cd9de8e/thumbnail_257000.jpg","/articles/6342381/Ohio/Ashland-mayor-reports-315-city-streets-220-resurfaced-historically-15-streets-and-about-22-alleys-resurfaced-in-2024","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6342381-23fde1cdc4e1951ac51545719b1aad18/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169579&Signature=nec20P67OIGlWSxyw-d~ATLBmdXLloVWidm0rK0AdJqv4Zm40jGOCoN22uCTRToCYMsbG3mxvs0teu3eglhNcDaSEBdqh1IJU6pnNkyafyU3BBNy310HH9KHxsNlmNms8xULnZDGdGhU6BDurAosj1sUMxHPtSow8rHO80~DtsHgpiiCGi9xP0AGMvLMYj6b8VSDpaxFbgewTFIoTKBzyTsAcTVGbP6RsqN3qH1fPFxAqST6jUoEZaz23~81x3AOKkGrUCYlMjSOUcVJcBTi-JcHDQQYNxJVTDd0TTcD94Vv6QtYGwlfNOtAP7Ag8HBeYbJplNrX4xV-blc8KyZk6w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The mayor said Ashland has 315 streets and that over recent years the city has resurfaced nearly 220 of them.

He said the EQ basin is a major project that the city is still assembling funding for and that it is expected to cost between $14 million and $15 million and is required by the EPA.

City services the mayor listed as funded in the budget include street resurfacing and maintenance, weekly sanitation and recycling collection, water delivery and wastewater treatment, park programming and facilities, police and fire services, and emergency medical services.
