Western Reserve Port Authority eyeing developments for Warren's Westlawn neighborhood
WARREN, Ohio - The Western Reserve Port Authority is currently eyeing developments for the former Westlawn neighborhood in Warren.
According to Warren 7th Ward Councilman, Ron White, this land was originally set to be purchased by Breckin Concrete for a housing development project, but this project fell through after the company allegedly would not tell council where the money was going.
Now, a new company is eyeing the property, but White could not tell us specifics about the company at this time. White tells 21 News this company already has people set who want to buy the property and set up facilities.
The property is 100,000 square feet to a million square feet and can potentially be used for multiple different properties and facilities.
White tells us this development could hypothetically be used for some businesses coming from North Jackson, Lordstown, etc. such as TJX and Ultium Cells as a potential hub for them.
White says all paperwork must be taken care of before any further information is revealed about the project.
The Western Reserve Port Authority tells 21 News they are not quite ready to give specifics on the project, but did say it's compliant with all zoning regulations and they hope to see significant progress in the upcoming construction season.
