Public is invited to hear about plans for corner
The new developers of the long-in-coming retail project at the corner of Pearl and Whitney roads will host a public meeting Tuesday, Jan. 24 to talk about plans there.
WXZ Development Inc., have set a public meeting for 7 p.m. at the Ehrnfelt Recreation Center to talk about the first phase of the project, which city officials said is to include an O'Charley's restaurant and a Sheetz gas station.
The parcel at Whitney and Pearl has been tied up in foreclosure since the Toledo-based Timberstone development group ran into financial obstacles and bowed out in 2009.
Timberstone was the second developer to plan and then abandon a project there.
Residents were promised a major retail project, to be called Renaissance Park, that would include a grocery store and a mix of other retail and restaurants by original developer David Lewanski, who in late 2005 said he had commitments from Lowe's, Bed Bath & Beyond and Circuit City to locate there.
Lowe's and GFS have been constructed so far. Circuit City is out of business, and Bed Bath & Beyond built a store at the Plaza at SouthPark.
When Lewanski left, Timberstone proposed a multi-phased project that would include smaller retail stores, restaurants and office space.
City officials said they met with WXZ in mid-November to talk about landscaping and general issues at the site.
Strongsville Patch will have coverage of the meeting on Wednesday.
