Cleveland Boomers Are Moving Under An Hour Away To One Of America's Most Affordable Cities For Retirees
Cleveland rocks, but not necessarily for retirees. Major cities can be a challenge to retire in for a number of reasons, and so many of Cleveland's seniors have felt an uncontrollable urge to move to smaller cities and towns in their golden years. They're not always looking far, though. One of the most popular places to retire to from Cleveland is another more affordable Ohio city just 40 miles away: Akron, the Rubber Capital of the World.

City Council OKs Malik plan to unlock potential of older Akron homes
The city of Akron is making it easier to invest in its vast stock of aging homes by eliminating another obstacle to their reuse. Under current zoning regulations, Akron Planning Director Kyle Julien said, 86% of land in the city that allows residential uses "is zoned exclusively for single-family homes." Thanks to a change unanimously adopted Nov. 9 by Akron City Council, residential properties that do not quite fit the description – so-called legal nonconforming structures – won't have to be brought into compliance with modern zoning rules within two years as previously required. The step, coupled with another recent zoning change that sets aside lot-size requirements, is one Mayor Shammas Malik's administration hopes will encourage a wave of community renewals. Across the last 30 years of the 20th century, Akron abandoned the idea of neighborhoods with a mix of housing types, opting instead for neighborhoods dedicated to single-family homes, Julien said. But bringing homes built prior to that push into compliance limited property buyers' possibilities. "This requirement can be challenging or even impossible to meet. It's not easy to turn a duplex into a single-family home," Julien said, "and you can't add land to a parcel to meet the

Evergreen Recycling plant sold for $7 million
The empty Evergreen Recycling LLC buildings and manufacturing plant in Clyde has been sold for $7 million. Forever Green Plastics LLC purchased the two Clyde properties, 13.3 acres at 609 Elm St. and 21.36 acres at 202 Watertower Drive. As previously reported, Evergreen made a $22 million expansion at that facility to manufacture food-grade recycled PET (rPET), then abruptly closed in February. The $7 million deed transfer is evidence of a transaction, but doesn't establish whether Forever Green bought the operating business, is a successor company, is controlled by Evergreen's owners/lenders, or merely acquired the real estate. Property transfer records show the business is using the 202 Watertower Drive address as its official address with the Sandusky County auditor. A mass layoff notice of 165 workers, issued under the WARN Act as required by Ohio Law, was made on Feb. 24 by Evergreen. The notice indicated that all Evergreen Recycling facilities would be closed. “This one happened very quickly. We didn’t, and the company didn’t, really even have that much notice. They let us know as soon as they heard, and we’ve been running since," Assistant Director of Sandusky County OhioMeansJobs Center Casey Nead said in February. "This one was

Historic Akron Soap Company building converted into 53 new apartments
An 1893 soap factory that later made cereal and paint, and an attached 1919 warehouse, have been transformed into 53 apartments close to downtown Akron. The $14 million soap factory project represents the first time that Oriana House, a community corrections and behavioral health agency, has moved into market-rate housing. The decision to do so came after the group acquired the old factory at 243 Furnace St., about a half mile northeast of Luigi’s and less than a mile from downtown.
