Park board looking to lease all or parts of park
By Jane Smith
He said the board is willing to hear all ideas for proposed development. “We had one individual who wants to build an indoor/outdoor race track,” he said. He assumes the individual meant for horse racing, but said it wasn’t made clear.
Lynch said the proposal includes specifications about qualifications of the developer.
He said the requests for proposals include resumes of the developer’s team members and their past projects. The request includes a statement detailing how the proposal suits the grounds and environment of Conneaut Lake Park.
“One key statement is architectural style,” said Moyers of any proposed condominium development along the lakefront. “We want to know what it is going to look like.”
That includes the waterfront elements, green technology and how the roads will tie in with the impact of the immediate road network.
“It is going to give the board the opportunity to see what interest is out there,” he said, noting the proposals are designed to attract professional and experienced developers.
“The board will control the outcome,” he added.
“It’s a very aggressive timeline,” he said, noting the Nov. 30 deadline.
Lynch isn’t a member of the board, but has been working with the board.
In the meantime, Moyers said he hopes to have current financial figures in a week or so, detailing the revenue and expenses from the past several months after the board opened the Beach Club in mid-August.
