Wooster annexes property for Wooster Innovation Industrial Park
WOOSTER The city grew by 134 acres overnight.
Wooster City Council on Monday approved the annexation of the former Five L Farms property. The city purchased four parcels totaling 134.215 acres last year with plans to develop the property into the Wooster Innovation Industrial Park.
“I think it will be a real boon for the city and we’ll start reaping the benefits sooner than later,” said Council President Mike Buytendyk.
The property stretches from Melrose Drive to Geyers Chapel Road, directly north of the industries on Old Airport Road and the Daisy Brand plant. Mayor Bob Breneman said in his state of the city address last month that the city has already met with several prospective businesses about building at the park.
