Points of Interest

NORTH ROYALTON YMCA City of North Royalton has purchased the Avalon Event Center for the future home of the North Royalton YMCA

The facility, located at 11409 State Road (corner of Wallings and State roads), will feature an indoor pool and state-of-the-art exercise equipment and will host dozens of programs for families, adults, children, teens and senior citizens.

“The best part is we will be able to bring this beautiful facility to town without raising taxes,” said Mayor Robert Stefanik, who has been in negotiations with the YMCA for months on the project.

Officials are working toward a groundbreaking in fall 2010.

The Avalon opened in 2001 with black-tie fanfare, but creditors forced it into involuntary bankruptcy in 2004. Citizens Bank of Flint, Mich. bought the property, which had a listed value of $2.9 million.

Under the Memorandum of Understanding North Royalton has reached with the Y, the city will own the building and the YMCA will renovate, expand and operate it. The YMCA offers a number of exercise classes, aquatics programs, Y Adventure programs and youth sports including basketball, T-ball and flag football. There will also be a teen center, childcare facilities and a summer camp program.

The YMCA is in the midst of a fundraising campaign to renovate and equip the building. As a result of the city’s contribution, North Royalton residents will receive a discount on initiation and monthly membership fees, and there is now a membership office open in the shopping plaza next to Drug Mart on Wallings Road.

N. Royalton Library CCPL

North Royalton, OH – January 21, 2011 – Cuyahoga County Public Library (CCPL) and the City of North Royalton are moving forward with the construction of a new 30,000 square foot North Royalton Branch library. The estimated cost of the new branch is $11.7 million. The city has entered into a purchase agreement, contingent upon North Royalton City Council approval for approximately 15 acres of vacant property on Wallings Road just east of State Road adjacent to the future home of the North Royalton Family YMCA. A portion of the acreage will be utilized by CCPL for the construction of the new branch. The city owns the existing North Royalton Branch. The construction of the new North Royalton Branch is part of a Facilities Master Plan (the Plan) adopted by the CCPL Board of Trustees in June 2010. The Plan includes thirteen priority building, renovation and relocation projects. It is part of a long-term financial plan that will reduce CCPL’s operating costs and sustain its operations. The implementation of the Plan will not require CCPL to ask taxpayers for additional funds. CCPL will continue to provide library service at the current North Royalton Branch location until construction of the new branch is complete. CCPL expects to break ground in 2012.
