Gateway District IGA terminated; potential pharmaceutical developer may seek rezoning

Village of Wadsworth Board of Trustees · February 3, 2026

Summary

Administrator DiPersio reported the Intergovernmental Agreement for the Gateway District was terminated Jan. 31; a pharmaceutical manufacturer has expressed interest but would require rezoning, prompting the board to consider zoning options for potential development.

Village Administrator Pat DiPersio told trustees the Intergovernmental Agreement with Old Mill Creek and the County for the Gateway District was terminated effective Jan. 31.

DiPersio said a pharmaceutical manufacturer has expressed interest in developing the area but would still need to apply for rezoning. He stressed that the state is competing with another state for the development, so any formal proposal could arrive quickly and the Board should be prepared to act. If that opportunity does not proceed, DiPersio advised the Board to review potential zoning options for the site for future prospects.

No formal rezoning request or developer application was before the Board at the Feb. 3 meeting. The minutes show only that staff notified the Board of the terminated IGA and potential interest; trustees did not take formal direction beyond asking counsel to prepare any necessary draft language for future consideration.
