The Ohio City Near West Development Corporation project, including a massive renovation and redevelopment of the former Fries and Schuele building in Ohio City, has earned a $10,000 Community Impact Award, an award co-sponsored by Dominion East Ohio and Inside Business magazine.
In the eighth annual award competition, Dominion awarded $50,000 to seven winners selected by a panel of judges from 65 entries submitted by organizations throughout northeast Ohio. The award recognizes cities or groups that have made an impact in the community. Grant funds come from the Dominion Foundation.
The historic Fries and Schuele building is breathing new life into Ohio City. The ground level hosts a market filled with 8,000 square feet of unique retailers, including a chocolatier, a handbag specialty store and foods from across the globe. Above, residents live in 36 newly finished 1,200-square-foot apartments with hardwood floors and spectacular views of downtown and Market Square.
"We support the outstanding efforts of all the people involved in these award-winning projects," said Jay L. Johnson, president and chief executive officer. "Their work goes a long way in revitalizing our communities and making them better places in which to live, work and play."
Other Community Impact Award winners include:
Dominion has a diversified and integrated energy portfolio consisting of about 24,000 megawatts of generation. Dominion also serves more than 3.8 million franchise natural gas and electric customers in five states. For more information about Dominion, visit the company's Web site at www.dom.com.
