Lake County land bank provides roughly $200,000 toward demolition of former treatment plant, council told
Summary
John Rogers of the Lake County Land Reutilization Corporation announced the land bank will provide just over $200,000 toward demolition of the village's former water/wastewater treatment plant, increasing the total available funding for the project; council thanked him and noted the funds exceeded expectations.
John Rogers, speaking on behalf of the Lake County Land Reutilization Corporation, told Fairport Harbor council members that the land bank would provide "a little over $200,000" for demolition of the former water/wastewater treatment plant on behalf of the county land bank.
Rogers said that contribution "brings to the total our $55,000 for the demolition of the wastewater or the water treatment plant," and council members responded appreciatively, noting the amount was larger than expected and thanking the land bank for the support.
Why it matters: demolition funding accelerates cleanup and site-preparation tasks needed before any subsequent reuse or redevelopment; an unexpected increase in outside funding reduces the village’s local cash requirement for the demolition.
What’s next: staff will incorporate the land bank funds into project financing and move forward with demolition planning and contracting.
