“There’s nothing like rejuvenating something that is beautiful,” Mayor Ann Womer Benjamin said. “The land is wonderful.”
Womer Benjamin said that while plans for the property are not finalized, she is expecting the city to redevelop the property into a public park with a pool, beach and related amenities, non-motorized boating, and other recreational attractions.
Following an executive session with City Council earlier this month, the details of the plan were made public.“This is a legacy purchase for the people of Aurora,” she said. “It is the opportunity of a lifetime to guarantee our residents lake access and a destination that is going to be one of the gems of Northeast Ohio.”
Aurora negotiated a Joint Economic Development District Agreement with the township in 2020, which provided certain economic benefits to the city for its provision of utilities to the Bainbridge side of the property. Womer Benjamin said the city’s purchase of the 40 acres of lakefront land and the 53-acre spring-fed lake has a different focus.
