2025-2026 800 Mogadore Rd Solar Project Assessment

The Community Development Department issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in July 2025 in order to hire a consulting firm to advise the City on the design of a photovoltaic solar project for the 800 Mogadore Road site.

The property is privately owned, and active remediation efforts continue to be underway to mitigate legacy environmental concerns on the site.

The primary objective for the current owner is remediating the site to a standard that will allow for the issuance of a No Further Action (NFA) / Covenant Not to Sue (CNS) designation from the Ohio EPA. Once a NFA/CNS designation has been obtained, it will allow for the possible future redevelopment of the site for a city sponsored photovoltaic solar project.

The City selected Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) to provide professional consulting services with regards to installation, implementation, and financing components of such a project. Funding for these consulting services was provided through the 2025 NOPEC Energized Community (NEC) grant.
