August 4, 200717 yr Bowling Green has green power - 391 feet tall to the top of the arc and 1.8 megawatts each. The last time I was there, they had four of them. They appear so graceful and placid from a distance, but up close they're almost scary. I don't know how fast the tips of those rotors are moving, but they absolutely roar through the air as they pass the bottom of the arc. Each turbine is almost as powerful as a freight locomotive.
August 10, 200717 yr Interesting that Wood County can get $3-Million in state aid from it's area lawmakers and Seneca County Commissioners can't. Makes one wonder how hard the Seneca County Commissioners really tried. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article published August 10, 2007 Wood County's verdict: Save courthouse Lawmakers used muscle to get nearly $3M in state aid By JENNIFER FEEHAN BLADE STAFF WRITER BOWLING GREEN — As Seneca County commissioners move closer to razing the county’s long-neglected 1884 courthouse, they insist it would be too little and too late to seek Ohio funds to try to save it. Historically, courthouses have not been frequent recipients of state funds for renovation, although one of the biggest benefactors sits just next door to Seneca County. In neighboring Wood County, commissioners have gotten nearly $3 million in state capital dollars in recent years to put toward the county’s courthouse complex — $1.75 million to convert the old jail into a records center and law library and $1 million to build an atrium that provides a single, covered entrance and connector to the courthouse, old jail, and county office building.

September 3, 200717 yr Construction under way on Bass Pro in Rossford BY GARY T. PAKULSKI BLADE BUSINESS WRITER Published: 8/30/2007 Nearly 15 years after a new transportation link created what has come to be known as the "golden triangle" in northern Wood County, developers and community officials hope to begin mining the mother lode. The impetus is the start of work on a Bass Pro Shops outlet, a giant $50 million outdoor store that the owners predict will become a major local tourist draw. The Springfield, Mo., sports retailer will hold a formal ground-breaking today at the site of the store that is to be completed in June. With 150,000 square feet, it will be the size of 3 1/2 football fields, said spokesman Larry Whiteley.

September 16, 200717 yr Housing proposal sparks legal battle in Perrysburg Homes planned next to Fort Meigs Article published September 16, 2007 By CARL RYAN, BLADE STAFF WRITER Perrysburg's Fort Meigs withstood two British sieges in 1813 and is considered a historical treasure. Now a different battle - in court - is under way over a developer's wish to build housing on property next to Fort Meigs, along the river. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Sept. 27 with Wood County Common Pleas Judge Alan Mayberry. Preservationists are up in arms, so to speak. They describe Fort Meigs and its surroundings as Perrysburg's "front door" because of its visibility from the other side of the river. Indeed, they note, the bridge connecting Maumee and Perrysburg is officially named the Fort Meigs Memorial Bridge. "We're against any development there and we're for using it as public land," explained Mary Meyer, a member of the board of Historic Perrysburg, a group that has weighed in against the plan. The developer, Larry LaPointe of Perrysburg, paid $200,000 for six acres of property next to the fort in 2002, intending to build multiple and single-family housing with an imposing view of the Maumee. He's been stymied by the property's zoning classification, which bars building on his land consisting of two adjoining parcels, and Perrysburg's refusal to change it. In his lawsuit, Mr. LaPointe accuses the city of denying him economic use of his land. He wants the court to order Perrysburg to change the zoning or buy the property.

May 14, 200817 yr Contractor prepares for store's handoff to Bass Pro owners BY LARRY P. VELLEQUETTE BLADE BUSINESS WRITER Published: 5/9/2008 Dozens of construction workers yesterday buzzed around the new 150,000-square-foot Bass Pro Shops store under construction in Rossford, planting trees, hanging signs, and cleaning up what local officials hope soon will be a huge tourist draw for the Toledo area. Inside a construction management trailer across the parking lot from Bass Pro's huge wood-frame and glass building, project managers with Rudolph-Libbe Inc. were busy coordinating the final touches on the $50 million project. They planned to work through the weekend - as they have most previous weekends - to finish the multistory, outdoor-themed "retail destination" in time for a planned handoff to Bass Pro Wednesday morning, a Rudolph-Libbe official on site said. But the continued toil of construction workers is just a part of the complicated ballet of coordinated tasks that must be completed before Bass Pro Shops opens to the public, now expected to take place right before the July 4 holiday.

The Waterville resident was toting collapsible chairs that she and her husband, Bill, will use while watching their grandchildren s sporting events. It was great, she said of the fishing, camping, and hunting heaven that lays claim to the crown of No. 1 outdoor retailer in America. Two thousand people streamed through the turnstiles of the $50 million store on opening day Tuesday. By 10 a.m. yesterday, the parking lot was already beginning to fill. The two-story store, in an area called Crossroads of America, has the equivalent of 3 football fields of space. The location is south of State Rt. 795 where I-75 crosses over the Ohio Turnpike.

July 9, 200816 yr what in the?.....my gawd that looks like hell. i wish toledo would go back to not doing suburbs. just look at that, its no surprise, they're just not good at it. doesnt turn out well. of course this is (or was?) the most admirable trait of toledo, the city/region respected the surrounding farmland.
July 10, 200816 yr Sprawl is still happening in Toledo, just look at western Sylvania, Monclova, and Perrysburg. Western Sylvania does have a bizarre mixed use faux downtown, "Mayberry" with a square that faces Centennial Rd. There's an ice cream shop, some restaurants, a barber, etc, with apts on top. Directly behind the square you face the sight of detached garages and asphalt. Behind that are more typically suburban condos. I only know about it from recently riding my bike in the area. The sprawl heading west along Sylvania-Metamora Rd seems to be stalling, with unfinished streets and many finished (previously owned?) homes still for sale.
July 10, 200816 yr aww man thats too bad about the north/westside sprawl. i'll have to see that. glad to hear its limited. to me that was always my favorite part of the "just outside toledo" boundries. :| as for heading south to bg, there better not be anything but farms between bg and maumee!!! :whip: well, ok ,except for a hopefully rotting out old shell of the former dixie electric company disco building halfway on rt25 :laugh:.

July 11, 200816 yr Western Sylvania does have a bizarre mixed use faux downtown Actually, Sylvania does have a real downtown in the northeastern section of the city. It's quite nice and there is an actual urban core in Sylvania that's classy, pedestrian-friendly, and functionally urban. It's in Sylvania CITY. The "new urbanism" Mayberry area you are talking about is in Sylvania TOWNSHIP. They are quite different beasts. Sylvania City actually has some real urban development, while the township can make you vomit. Generally speaking, townships have far more uncontrolled sprawl than incorporated cities. A similar thing plays out in the Perrysburgs. Perrysburg City has a great downtown and some grand historic neighborhoods, while Perrysburg Township is more typical suburban trash. Sure, Sylvania has a real downtown, and I'm aware of the difference between the township and city. I would say that a lot of people are not. Part of the reason is that Sylvania City is still a part of Sylvania Township. Being in the same school district also tends to blur people's perception of place. Mayberry is just south and west of the city limits. The boundary line is pretty zigzaggy. Riding around all I see are Welcome to the City of Sylvania signs. Here's a map of the irregular city and township boundaries: http://www.sylvaniatownship.com/PDF/Zoning%20Map%2003-2007.pdf Just north of Mayberry, north of Erie St., that twisted tangle of cul-de-sacs is within the city limits. The style of development between fringe city and township is virtually indistinguishable (I guess except for the fake water features in new twp developments).
July 11, 200816 yr All the girls I know from Sylvania are...well...let's just say they are far from exotic or hot. You met Sylvania people at Ohio State. You should have gone to Michigan, or well, a Sylvania high school. :wink: ...I'm not recommending going after teenage suburban princesses, just that a high school would give you the best representation of the area. They look a lot like the Disney Channel, but even sluttier. By contrast, if you want ugly, just head a little south of Sylvania down to Anthony Wayne. It's standard issue rich Ohio cornbread suburban trash with some Neapolis meth and pot-smoking hippies from the sand dunes in the west. Nah, I'm thinking the girls at UM and their high school are still equally as...well...not hot.

July 12, 200816 yr aww man thats too bad about the north/westside sprawl. i'll have to see that. glad to hear its limited. to me that was always my favorite part of the "just outside toledo" boundries. Yeah, from 1990-2005, that area sprawled bad, and it's McMansions out the ass. It was fast, and it was destructive. All of Ohio sprawled horribly during that time period. Luckily, it appears to be over in Toledo. as for heading south to bg, there better not be anything but farms between bg and maumee!!! Don't you mean Perrysburg? no, i mean maumee. if you blink your eyes between maumee/front st when you go over the river to rt 25 south you miss anything else. that cemetary? please. it's all b-f cornfields after that. oh btw i was in toledo last summer. luckily, there is pretty much still no sprawl in toledo vs the other bigger ohio cities. at least due south.
November 7, 200816 yr Half-Finished Amphitheater in Rossford Being Demolished Toledo Blade, November 6, 2008 Crews from Commercial & Industrial Dismantling Inc. of Mount Clemens, Mich., raze the half-built amphitheater in Rossford. The now-defunct Rossford Arena and Amphitheater Authority planned to build an outdoor concert venue and an adjacent hockey arena on the site as the centerpiece of a development dubbed Crossroads of America, but the authority ran out of money to finish the project. The Ohio Carpenters Pension Fund bought the 87.7-acre parcel where the half-built amphitheater sits at a sheriff’s sale in 2006 and wants an attractive, ready-to-sell piece of property.

May 2, 201015 yr Wood County poised for recovery BY JANET ROMAKER, BLADE STAFF WRITER Published: 3/31/2010 BOWLING GREEN - For the next several years, Wood County likely will face challenges as the economy slowly does a turnaround, commissioners predict in the county's 2009 annual report. Commissioners, who presented the sixth annual State of the County Address last week in the courthouse complex atrium, have tightened the belt and trimmed the budget as a result of the recession. Commissioner Tim Brown told the audience that last September Wood County commissioners were the first in Ohio to designate an entire county as a recovery zone for the purpose of issuing recovery zone economic development bonds and economic recovery facility bonds, authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Despite one of the worst recessions to hit the country, there were some economic development high points last year, Mr. Brown pointed out. The $135 million expansion of First Solar in Perrysburg Township will add 130 employees to its existing 700, and the investment of $175 million by CSX Transportation to build a state-of-the-art intermodal rail terminal in Henry Township, near North Baltimore, will bring in 200 new jobs. The Wood County Hospital has finished a $42 million renovation and expansion project. And last summer FedEx Ground opened its $90 million package-distribution hub in Perrysburg Township.

Attorneys for the current and former owners agreed in court that the property’s violations required abatement by demolishing the building. (. . .) Judge Reeve Kelsey ruled that the defendants must construct a fence around the former mall by Sept. 2. In addition, the former and current owners of the building must submit a plan of abatement to the city engineer for final approval on or before Sept. 30. All unused structures must be removed on or before May 2, 2014, and all asphalt and cement slabs must be stripped from the premises by July 31, 2014. If the defendants fail to comply with the assigned dates, the city may enter the premises and abate or foreclose the property, according to the court agreement.

One parcel is at 119 S. Church St., located just south of the police station. The former Huntington Bank Branch location has been closed for several years, but has drive-up ATM units. The city is interested in building bathrooms there that will serve those using Wooster Green as well as visitors to the downtown area. In addition, the location has been eyed by the city for years as property that could be used to expand the police station. While there are no immediate plans for an expansion, the addition of an improved safety dispatch center is one of the city’s long-term capital plans.
