Emboldened by industrial demand, Fogg sets two-building plan for Euclid and Stow Stan Bullard - Crain's Cleveland Business - Feb. 7, 2021 "And in Stow, a 247,000-square-foot structure is planned for Seasons Business Park. That building will open a second phase of the park on the southwest side of the Seasons Road interchange with State Route 8. It will require building a 1/3-mile street with utilities to convert the greenfield from raw land to a ready-to-build industrial park with sites available for new structures. ... The second phase of Seasons Business Park is in development because the first phase, on the opposite side of Seasons Road, is fully developed with four buildings. It has about 600,000 square feet of rentable space, and just 40,000 square feet is left available, Fogg said."
