The walls came tumbling down on schedule for the redevelopment of the  
former Chardon Rubber Co. property in Chardon.



Demolition is under way at 373 Washington St., now home to rubber  
compound processor Chardon Custom Polymers. The $2 million project  
includes brownfield remediation, which began earlier this year. An  
architectural makeover is planned for part of the building fronting  
Washington Street and about 1.5 acres on the west side will be  
reserved for a bike path.



Property improvements - mostly covered by a Clean Ohio Revitalization  
Fund grant - are expected to result in adding about 50 new jobs  
within five years, $45,000 in income tax revenue and a net increase  
in $2 million in property value. Those numbers donât include the  
anticipated job creation via the potential redevelopment proposal for  
2 acres on the east side.
