County Agrees to Distribute
TIF Revenue for Development
By ann WiShaRt ann@kaRlovecmedia com
The tax increment financing agreement for the Heritage Pointe subdivision on Lake Avenue made headway May 14 as Middlefield Village Council approved ordinances that paved the way for construction to potentially start this year.
On first reading, council unanimously approved Ordinance 26141, authorizing an agreement with Geauga County Commissioners regarding the county’s role in distributing future revenue from the 30-year TIF.
A TIF is an economic development mechanism available to local governments in Ohio to finance public infrastructure improvements and, in certain circumstances, residential rehabilitation, according to Ohio.gov.
Council also created five incentive districts within the 209-parcel
development. Future Heritage Pointe residents will make village service payments in lieu of real property taxes, commonly known as PILOT payments.
Village Solicitor Luke McConville said the compensation agreement directs PILOT payments to Geauga County, which will then distribute the funds according to the village agreement while protecting certain levies.
The county will distribute PILOT payments to the village and agencies with levies, including schools, law enforcement, fire protection and Geauga County Jobs and Family Services, McConville said in a May 21 phone interview.
The county will retain 10% of the PILOT revenue to cover distribution costs, he said.
“We cut a deal with the county that is a win-win,” he said, adding the village anticipates collecting about $7 million over 30 years.
The village is also waiving the water and sewer tap-in fees to new homes at Heritage Pointe and reducing environmental impact fees to $1,500 per parcel, thereby lowering costs for homebuyers and encouraging families with schoolage children to move into the development, Mayor Ben Garlich said at a previous meeting.
Meadowlake Properties LLC is developing the Heritage Pointe subdivision in five phases on more than 80 acres south of the Walmart Supercenter at 15050 Harrington Way. Developer Joe Svete said in March that marketing of the homes will begin once a model home is completed this summer.
Garlich reiterated May 14 that Cardinal Local Schools will receive as much revenue as it would have without the TIF agreement as development phases are completed.

Commission Asks to Rezone Former School Lot
Middlefield Village Planning and Zoning Commission voted May 12 to recommend village council re zone the former Jordak Elementary School property from general com mercial to residential planned unit development.
The school and more than 5 acres, now owned by Briar Hill Healthcare Residence Inc. of Mid dlefield Village, are slated to be re developed into an estimated 88-unit senior apartment complex pending permits and variances.
Village Zoning Inspector John Boksansky said the project may require a special-use permit for se nior housing, along with variances allowing up to six units per acre on upper floors and parking for up to 250 vehicles.
“The parking request is rather high, based on our code,” he told the commission, noting the plan in cludes only 60 parking spaces.

Faith Matters
Finding Faith When You Need It Most
It is always a bit of a shock when we hear that someone we know and care about is having a major health issue. Cancer, a heart problem, diabetes, high blood pressure, back surgery, a knee or hip replacement, etc.
I always pray for God’s help and healing in his/her life. I also ask for wisdom and guidance as doctors make important decisions about treatment.
I thank the Lord every day for my own health. I do not take my physical well-being for granted. I know that things can change in a hurry, especially as I move through my 70s. I hear of people all the time who are struggling with health setbacks.
death on the Cross because He knew it would bring to us the forgiveness of sins. The Bible tells us He struggled with the anticipation of His journey to Calvary. Yet, Christ willingly and lovingly offered Himself as a sacrifice, so we could know the blessing of fellowship with God for now and eternity.
By Roger Kruse
I go into the local skilled nursing facilities each week to help bring faith, hope and love into the residents’ lives. When life is hard and health is eroding, we especially need God’s grace at work in our lives.
Maintaining our health is a big deal. The advent of pain gets our attention in a hurry. Money and the comforts of life have little meaning if we don’t have the everyday health to enjoy it.
Sometimes life does not seem fair. When we become aware of a serious accident or health setback in someone’s life, we wonder why things happen as they do. Of course, there are no easy answers to the complexities of life and health. We know we are living in a fallen world, subject to sin and suffering. God often uses the difficult times in our lives to test and strengthen our faith. In the long run, it is the spiritual realities that matter the most. Our earthly days will give way to a never-ending eternity of life. Now is the time to ensure that we are building lives that please the Lord and align with His will and purposes.
God has the power to take a negative experience and turn it into a positive opportunity for His working and blessing. Jesus, Himself, was willing to embrace the suffering of
What difficulty or disappointment are you facing? Will you allow it to become a steppingstone to know God better? The Scripture exhorts us to draw near to God and He will draw near to us. The Lord greatly values our transparency as we bring our broken and contrite hearts before Him. He is the Father of compassion whose everlasting love is with all those who love and reverence Him.
More important than getting the answers to our probing questions is the assurance that God cares. He promises to be working for our good as He prepares us for eternal life in His presence. Sickness, pain and suffering will one day be a thing of the past. God will wipe every tear from our eyes.
I watched my second son Wade suffer with physical disabilities for 23 years. He never walked or talked. He had a feeding tube to sustain his life and a tracheostomy to help his breathing. His suffering was an every day reality. Yet, my wife and I discovered early on that God could turn our struggles into a platform for His grace. We learned that God’s goodness transcends our pain and His blessings emerge in circumstances that we never expected. The Lord will give peace in your storm, strength in your weakness and a divine purpose that eclipses the sufferings of life.
Roger Kruse pays close attention to matters of his personal health. He hopes to live a long and healthy life. Nevertheless, he recognizes that faith must lead the way as physical weakness leads him ever closer to His eternal life in God’s presence.

Anderson Ohman, real estate developer for Briar Hill Healthcare Residence Inc., said some prospective tenants have already expressed interest in having carports available.
The former school building at 16011 Pierce St. will house about 40 one-bedroom units featuring kitchens, living rooms, separate bedrooms and bathrooms, Ohman said.
“We are reconfiguring the classrooms,” Ohman said, adding the development will also include a gym, cafe, office and common areas. Use of the gym will be limited to residents age 55 and older.
A restaurant with seating for 80 remains an option, he said.
A new three-story addition would include about 45 two-bedroom units with fullsized kitchens, Ohman said.

member Dave Dietrich agreed the proposed complex should not create more traffic or use more water and sewer capacity than the school did when it operated at full capacity with children and staff.
The commission agreed to waive the hearing on the rezoning request to help move the project forward, although village council will still hold a public hearing.
Dietrich said he supported the proposal as long as the site plan incorporates all items discussed during the meeting.
“The site plan will be the key thing and will determine if a use variance is needed,” said village Solicitor Luke McConville. Commission members also discussed plans for a small pavilion in an outdoor common area and a two-bay garage for storing equipment used to maintain the campus, including The Cottages on Tare Creek Parkway.
In other business, the commission voted to send council a resolution establishing a 12-month moratorium on construction of data centers in the village.
Hello Residents,
Message from Mayor Ben Garlich
I have a lot to share with you as village activity has been high in all areas. It’s amazing and a privilege to be involved and part of helping our village move forward. Other than the constant rain and cold weather, I can’t think of anything to complain about.
Our village infrastructure was essentially established by people with vision who started the projects creating public water and sewer to promote the development of our village. Our success today is due to the fact they developed systems that supported both immediate and future growth.
Our strong industrial base, which provides jobs and revenue, is due to infrastructure that supports it. The systems are aging and need to be replaced and expanded. We successfully brought an additional well online late last year and are currently working on two more wells. When completed, we will have the redundancy required for when our original wells become non-producing.
In addition to new well development, the processing facilities that were installed 25 years ago also need updating. These projects are expensive but necessary to provide the quality our residents and businesses deserve.
As our system has aged, so has our workforce. We’ve been blessed over the years to have effective succession plans that yielded expertise for our complex and heavily regulated operations.
Over the last two years, we have been preparing for the vacancies that will be created by our current experts’ retirements. We have been fortunate to hire some talented young individuals who will be able to fill these shoes and our goal is to support them and encourage them to have lasting careers with the Village of Middlefield.
Our capital improvement plan has been robust over the last four years and we will continue that pace in 2026. We have major projects slated, in addition to water wells and sewer improvements, that will cause some summertime traffic issues as we do water line replacements on North State. This project will eliminate an aged water line and connect to the adjacent newer available line. Most of our failures (broken water lines) occur on North State, hence all the current patches in the road.
We also expect construction to begin this fall on a new convenience store and fuel facility located at the southeast corner of state routes 87 and 528. This project represents another investment in our community and will provide additional services and convenience for both residents and travelers passing through Middlefield.
We recently created our first TIF district in our village, which applies to the new development area on Lake Street. A TIF, or Tax Increment Financing district, is a tool commu nities can use to help support infrastructure improvements tied to development while still protecting existing school and public service funding. In our case, it allows the village to help encourage residen tial growth and investment in an area where we believe there is strong long-term potential for our community.
We did this for the purpose of bolstering local school enrollment and benefiting local businesses, as I firmly believe people shop and hope fully educate their children in the community where they live. The goal is to create additional housing opportunities that attract families, sup port our workforce and strengthen the overall vitality of Middlefield for years to come. It is a program that protects school and EMS revenues as well as social services. It yields more revenue for the county than if the land were to remain vacant and I feel it is a win for all involved.
rial Day Parade was held May 25. It provided an opportunity for all of us to show appreciation for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our American freedoms are preserved.
Our walk-in medical clinic is progressing. The stakeholders are committed. When completed, it will be a facility that sets our community apart with the menu of services and medical attention residents will be able to receive at the community level. I appreciate everyone who is diligently working to make this a reality.
There are some major community events scheduled for this summer. Our annual Memo-

Svete said during a July 2025 meeting that impact fees of about $10,000 per home will be shared between the developer and the village, and homes are expected to be priced around $399,000.
In other business May 14, council approved on first reading an emergency ordinance imposing a 12-month moratorium on zoning applications for data centers in the village.
McConville said state legislators want to study the effects of data centers before considering legislation. The Ohio House has passed a bill creating a committee to examine the issue, and the measure is pending in the Senate, he said.

A group of local business leaders have been very invested in reviving the original Middlefield Swiss Cheese Festival. It will be held the weekend prior to Father’s Day weekend, June 12-14. I know they have a lot of activities planned, including a parade on Saturday. Information is available online with a full schedule of events.
On the Saturday night of the festival, June 13, the village, along with private sponsors, will be presenting a drone show at 9:30 p.m. The show will take place at the Cardinal High School football field. The focus of the show is to honor Country, Community and Family. It will be a first for the area and I hope to see you there as we help celebrate the 250th birthday of this great country.

I was just notified that a longtime friend and former valued village employee, Ellie Fricker, passed away. Ellie was a longtime village employee and at one time she and Ronnie Warne were essentially the entire administrative staff of our village. Ellie held many positions and knew the operation of this village inside and out. I appreciated her both as a person and as an employee and offer her family my deepest and most sincere sympathy.
water and they also can be so massive, they are unsightly and could devalue properties,” he said.
Council also placed on first reading an ordinance rezoning more than 5 acres on Pierce Street from commercial to residential-planned unit development.
The Middlefield Village Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the change May 12, which would allow the former Jordak Elementary School building to be converted into senior apartments. A public hearing is required before council can vote on the rezoning.
Council additionally voted to create the full-time position of utility system specialist and operator and authorized the hiring of Laura Maddox to fill the full-time role.
Utility Director Joe Tucholski said Maddox holds a four-year degree, water and sewer licenses, and five years of experience in the field.
