Last year, Mayor Matthew Castelli and Middleburg Heights City Council set forth a vision to reposition the Southland Business District. The City has received overwhelmingly positive feedback on this study from Southland Business District property owners and interested developers.

As a result, the City continues to move forward with this transformative redevelopment initiative and plans to submit an application for a grant to the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA), which would provide funding for the improvements along Smith Road as described in the Southland District vision. Planning and engagement activities are scheduled throughout the summer in preparation for a fall grant application submission.

The City will host three community meetings to provide an update on the project and give you the opportunity to share your ideas and give your feedback on the Southland District vision.

The Southland District Vision Progression meetings will be held at the Middleburg Heights Community Center, 16000 Bagley Road, on July 7, July 27, and August 26 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
