Industrial Land Preservation vs. Recreational Reuse

Mentor

Summary

Council tabled a plan to put an indoor sports complex in a 2001-built industrial building on Clover Avenue, in the Tyler Boulevard industrial corridor. With industrial vacancy at just 4%, officials argue modern manufacturing space is too scarce to convert — though it means a youth recreation amenity isn't coming there.
