Though residents were sad to see the old property go, many look forward to the new public park that will soon occupy its space.Jared Saylor, director of communications for the Western Reserve Land Conservancy, mentioned the limited access the public presently has to the waterfront, citing only 17% of Lake Erie's beachfront in Ohio being accessible to visitors. Saylor said this project is a longtime coming and will be something special for the city of Vermilion. The project will widen Main Street from Huron Street to the beach, the project will also feature a new green space for visitors, expanded parking with additional spaces, a new comfort station, new bathrooms and changing areas, as well as a snack bar.
