At peak capacity, it provided electricity to about 800,000 homes.Demolition started soon after with asbestos removal, which took about a year.Avon Lake considers plan to redevelop power plant into green space Currently, they said they’re about 25%-30% done with the actual tear-down of the building.
“For the city of Avon Lake this is probably the biggest thing that’s gone on in a long time,” said Rogatto. Avon Lake receives $75K grant to stimulate economic growth following closure of power plant And now, about a year out from the anticipated completion of demolition, News 5 is following through on what to expect next.
One other historic structure will also remain, a building Rogatto referred to as the old screen house right along the lake. “We hope quite honestly that the eastern portion of the site might be able to be developed prior to the rest of the site being torn down,” said Don Lydon, senior vice president of Avison Young Cleveland, the project's development consultant.“You know, 1200-1500 apartment unit and condo units would be 2,000 people,” he said. “Plus, what you might get in here on a daily basis with office, it would be a huge financial benefit to the city of Avon Lake and surrounding areas.
“We’re looking to add up to 23 acres that will be public access for our community, and when we talk to the residents about what they want to see happen here, they want public access to the lake,” said Spaetzel.The 1926 building's stunning Art Deco-style design elements include light fixtures, the clock, and some control panels.
