New hospital among possibilities as Boston Heights agrees to retail and office space at old country club
By Ed Meyer
Beacon Journal staff writer
Published on Tuesday, Apr 15, 2008
Boston Heights Mayor Bill Goncy said the Village Council has formally agreed to the development of 100 acres at the former Boston Hills Country Club for retail and professional office buildings and possibly a hospital.
The agreement was approved in Summit County Common Pleas Court on Monday, Goncy said, and it settled a lawsuit filed last year by Boston Hills Property Investment after residents filed referendum petitions to overturn council approval of a commercial and retail complex on the former golf course.
The company owns about 160 acres at the site on state Route 8 and Hines Hill Road.
Under the agreement, Goncy said, 60 acres will be used for a ''greenspace buffer'' on the north and west sides of the property; at least 35 acres will be used for office and professional space; and no more than 65 acres will be used for commercial space.
Goncy said the office and professional space could be used for a major hospital.
In February, a group of local doctors and Summa Health System announced plans to build a 100-bed hospital in northern Summit County within the next three years. The group has not located a site, but said it would be off state Route 8 and south of the Ohio Turnpike.
Goncy said a meeting for village residents to discuss the agreement with council members will be held at 7 p.m. Friday at the fire department headquarters, 15 E. Boston Mills Road.
Under the settlement, Goncy said, the village will not be required to pay damages to the developer.
