Posted August 27, 200519 yr Hi, I am new to the site and just wanted to share some of the projects we have going on in the Y-City! First off is a 70 million dollar shopping complex called the Northpointe Centre. It will be anchered by The Home Depot and Kohl's with room for at least one other ancher in future phases. The complex is located next to a Lowes and the 80 store Colony Square Mall. A Sams Club will also be build accross the street. All of the stores are to be new to Zanesville and will add to our already booming commercial sector. Here is a link to the developers website! http://www.zarembagroup.com/retail_indev_northpointe.html Downtown Zanesville is about to have some very exciting projects. The first is a new lifestyles center (I think that is what they are called) called Potters Alley. The name derived from the fact the Zanesville is the "Pottery Capital of the World" It should be simmilar to Pullman Square in Huntington. It is suppose to have a large theater, and a large Bookstore, with multi-leveal buildings that have shops on the first floor and appartments on the upper floors, but nothing has been anounced yet. Part of this project consists of a convention center that will be attatched to the existing 1,800 seat Secrest Auditorium. Other downtown projects include new appartment complexes that are just now being announced. Recently one of the historic buildings was just converted to loft appartments for seniors.

Developers are making plans for a "lifestyle center" between Ohio 146 at Kearns Drive and North Pointe Drive. The area, which is being called North Pointe Falls, will include living spaces, restaurants, shops and entertainment. "It makes it more convenient for people that want to have a nice place to live, eat, dine and be entertained, but not really have to go far away, like to Columbus," said Cheryl James, a realtor with Findeiss Realty. The purchase of the land is in contract, James said. She would not release much information about plans before a community meeting Friday morning.

June 9, 200619 yr This project has everyone pretty exited!!! The developers have been using the term "Easton Like!!" I don't know the exact statistics, but Zanesville has to be one of the fastest growing retail centers in the state. I think in the last year over 70 million dollars has been spent on commercial projects. I can't wait until Friday's announcement.
June 10, 200619 yr No, I don't think so. Downtown has some projects of it's own that will greatly enhance it. One of these projects is somewhat similar to the North Pointe Falls project, but on a smaller scale that will fit in well with downtown. Also since I now work downtown, it is already better! 8-)
June 10, 200619 yr From the 6/10/06 Zanesville Times Recorder: Details of possible 'lifestyle center' presented By GI SMITH Staff Writer ZANESVILLE -If Richard Lovelace's vision for a 143-acre tract of ground on North Pointe Drive comes to fruition, it would be a marriage of residential, retail and entertainment structures. The idea of a "lifestyle center," being dubbed "North Pointe Falls," was pitched Friday morning to a group of potential investors and community members. The center would be located at a 143-acre tract of land located between Kearns Drive and North Pointe Drive. The property, which is owned by the Kearns family, is currently under contract with North Pointe, LLC. The sale of the property is contingent upon the completion and opening of the new connector road between Ohio 146 and Ohio 60.

CHRIS CROOK/Times Recorder Photo Galleries: Ohio 60/146 Connector Opens Ohio 60/146 connector road opens By TONYA SHIPLEY City Editor ZANESVILLE — It took seven years, the cooperation of landowners, and a small matter of Indiana bats before the Ohio 60/146 connector road became a reality. The road, which is an extension of North Pointe Drive, officially opened Monday as city officials gathered with representatives from the county and even the federal government on hand. In an abbreviated ceremony due to the pouring rain, Mayor Howard Zwelling cut the ribbon on the new road. “It’s been seven long years to get to this point,” said Mike Sims, the city’s public service director. The $5.3 million road took seven years from the initial plan and design to the construction and opening. Now drivers can use the route, which extends from Ohio 146 to Maple Avenue, and continue on the other portion of North Pointe Drive, which extends to Dresden. Officials hope the road will not only help alleviate traffic on Maple Avenue, but spur on development. A new lifestyle center is already planned for the area between North Pointe Drive and Kearns Road.

October 6, 200618 yr From the 10/3/06 Zanesville Times Recorder: PHOTO: Vehicles travel across the Duncan Falls-Philo bridge on Friday. Muskingum County Engineer Doug Davis conducted a meeting Monday to discuss a recent structural study of the span. Davis said the bridge, with proper maintenance, should be safe for another 30 to 40 years. RICK HARRISON/Times Recorder Zanesville Times Recorder: Meeting will inform public about Philo Bridge updates (10/1/06) New Duncan Falls-Philo bridge out of reach, engineer says Current span safe; new construction could cost $15 million By BRIAN GADD Staff Writer PHILO - A new bridge across the Muskingum River between Philo and Duncan Falls could cost $15 million. But the current bridge could last another 30 to 40 years with proper preventive maintenance, despite a number of warning signs which were found when the bridge was repaired last spring. "We did quite a bit of rehabilitation to the bridge this year," said County Engineer Doug Davis, who gave an update on the bridge's condition and its future Monday night during a public meeting at Philo Junior High School. "To answer the questions that a lot of people are asking: Yes, it's bad. Yes it does need replaced. But not yet." If a mix of state and federal funding could be rounded up to replace the bridge, the much-traveled route between the two villages - the bridge sees more than 7,000 cars and trucks a day - could be out of commission for two years, something Davis is loath to do.

His opinion on Zanesville City Schools' .5-mill maintenance levy is, "The kids are our future and if we don't take care of them, who will." The .5-mill maintenance levy on the Nov. 7 ballot will free up $64 million of state money for phase two of the Ohio School Facilities Commission project. Phase two includes the building of three elementary schools and one high school, which are expected to be complete and open three years after the passage of the levy.

March 12, 200718 yr From the 3/11/07 Zanesville Times Recorder: Local artist renovates downtown buildings By HOLLY RICHARDS Staff Writer ZANESVILLE - With the intent to preserve and beautify Zanesville and its historical structures, a local artist has been renovating some of the city's buildings. Sculptor Alan Cottrill owns numerous buildings throughout the city, and has put time and money into restoring them. "I love old buildings and I hate to see them torn down," he said. "I like to see growth and advancement, and I love the downtown area and Zanesville. It has incredible potential." One of these sites is 35 S. Fourth St., the old Montgomery Ward building. The renovations process has been going on for about a year and a half, since Cottrill bought the building. Cottrill said it took more than 10 40-yard containers to haul away all the interior debris. He said a new roof was put on, and the interior was stripped of small cubicles, opening it back up to the original ceiling height throughout. Some of the exterior, which had been boarded up, now features a new storefront with new glass, courtesy of the Downtown Facade Program, Cottrill said.

According to Jay Butler of Butler Realty, Mark Luburgh submitted a bid of $25,000 to the Zanesville City Schools for the property, but is also working with David Bentley of Integrity Partners LLC to develop the property. In the meantime, Bentley has been in discussion with a professor from Ohio University about the possibility of turning the school into a learning center which would teach foreign languages and mathematics. Butler admitted he "didn't think it was a great concept."

With that in mind, ZDA Manager Dana Matz led business and city officials on a tour of existing residential units along Main Street Tuesday afternoon. The event included visits to eight units, a mixture of loft-style apartments and condos. Matz said more than $30 million has been invested in downtown revitalization efforts since 2000. "Many of these old buildings were designed for 'live above,' for the businesses on the ground floor," Matz said, while he led the group through 625 Main St. "The adaptation for 're-use' will be very important for continuing development in our downtown area."

The new downtown convention center is proposed to be a 91,000 square foot structure, and it will be an addition to the existing 1,800 seat Secrest Auditorium. They said the project will be about $18 million.

April 11, 200817 yr ZANESVILLE Historic building's fate angers neighbors Thursday, April 10, 2008 By Josh Jarman, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Some residents of a historic Zanesville neighborhood are upset by a recent zoning board decision to tear down a home. The Putnam Historic District, south of downtown along the Muskingum River, is protected under city zoning rules meant to preserve its character. Many of the homes are more than 200 years old, and the area was once a key stop on the Underground Railroad. "We moved into the district 18 years ago because it was historic," said Bart Hagemeyer. "We expected the city to help us protect it." Hagemeyer is challenging a Feb. 19 review and design board decision to allow demolition of an abandoned building at 421 Putnam Avenue. He will present his case at a Board of Zoning Appeals meeting today at 5:30 p.m. at City Council chambers, 401 Market St. Read more at http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2008/04/10/Putnam.ART_ART_04-10-08_B4_LK9SUGF.html?sid=101

Bart Hagemeyer and Ron Gall, Putnam area residents who filed separate though similar appeals of a Design Review Board decision to permit the building to be torn down, stated their cases, while Tom Hannon of Hannon Electric argued for the February decision of the board to be upheld.

April 25, 200817 yr I usually would be against the demo of an historic building, however this one I am for. This building is in terrible shape. The expansion of the factory next to it will bring 10 additional jobs with a starting salary of $30,000. This is the only building in Putnam that could be affected by a move like this, so it won't be starting a trend or anything.
May 8, 200817 yr Pollock Apartments on Market Street dedicated Wednesday, May 7, 2008 By BRIAN GADD, Staff Writer Zanesville Times-Recorder ZANESVILLE - Floyd Pollock Jr. didn't get to see the finishing touches put to the brick and stucco senior housing development which was dedicated in his honor. Pollock died in December, but his memory will live on as the Pollock Apartments on Market Street were officially dedicated Tuesday with representatives from the various agencies which partnered on the project. "This has been long-awaited by our family," Pollock's son, Doug, said, pointing out other family members in the crowd, including Floyd's wife, Mary. "When he found out that this building would be named after him, he wondered what he had done to get such an honor ...There's no greater honor than to have something in your hometown named after you ... It's an example of his service to his hometown." Read more at http://www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080507/NEWS01/805070303/1002/NEWS17
August 26, 200816 yr From the Zanesville Times Recorder: Former park and its landmark statues on auction block By BRIAN GADD • Staff Writer • June 30, 2008 FRAZEYSBURG - It's not every day that you have the opportunity to purchase a whole park, particularly one with historical value. But in about a month, that's what will happen when Kiko Auctioneers of Canton will entertain bids on the old Baughman Memorial Park, located just off Ohio 586 and Ohio 16 near Frazeysburg. The 62-acre park was previously owned by George Randall until purchased by Dave Longaberger in 1997. Kevin Morehouse of Hanover then purchased the land in February for $310,000, public records show. The most noticeable features at the park are huge sandstone statues of former presidents, generals and wildlife, sculpted by local native Brice Baughman between the late 1800s and around 1930, according to Randy Compton, auctioneer.

December 17, 200816 yr Well, you thought you were late in asking the question, this is late! :-D Actually, it was just announced about a week ago. The new downtown convention center is proposed to be a 91,000 square foot structure, and it will be an addition to the existing 1,800 seat Secrest Auditorium. They said the project will be about $18 million. Whoa there! A convention center downtown? I am from Zanesville and I hadn't heard of this until stumbling on this page. Please explain. Is the project dead?
December 17, 200816 yr This project is not dead. there should be some sort of announcement in the near future.
December 18, 200816 yr So, as a rather old update for North Pointe, Time Warner is expanding to a new North Pointe drive facility. I don't have all the details, but I am pretty sure this project is close to completion.
December 18, 200816 yr I should probably give an update on the development known as North Pointe Falls. This project, as it was originally announced, will not happen. That doesn't mean that there isn't development slated for this land, it just wont be a true "lifestyle center." The entire North Pointe Area however is and has been experiencing a boom in the office/residential sector. As cavscrew1 stated, Time Warner has just completed construction of a call center on North Pointe Drive that will service the entire east coast, and will eventually employ around 400 people. Zanesville certainly is not exempt from the hard economic times, but we are one of the few cities of our size that can say we are experiencing more growth then closers. Although it is not in the North Pointe Area, Avon has just constructed a large distribution center in the East Pointe Business Park which will employ around 600. Another positive development has been the creation of a 300+ acre Job Ready Site. This is located in the East Pointe Business Park and, when all finished, will have great road and rail access, all utilities in place, and will feature a 100+ acre ready to build pad. This land is being marketed not only by our Port Authority, but also by the state of Ohio. It is to be set aside for manufacturing. Ok, this was a long update, I could go on, but I will spare you for now!
December 19, 200816 yr Nice update. Zanesville sure is losing so many jobs with Lear Corp. going out and other businesses of such. Its nice to see a couple new places sprouting about in Zanesville.
