Cleveland Akron, OH, October 28, 2026 —
Avon Lake voters are set to consider Issue 36, a ballot measure requiring voter approval for zoning changes and financing tied to redevelopment of the former Avon Lake Power Plant site.
The measure has drawn competing views over how the proposed process could affect the project. Supporters say Issue 36 would give residents a direct say in decisions about the site. Opponents have raised concerns that requiring approval could add delays and complications to development.
The available information does not specify what zoning changes are proposed, what financing arrangements would be covered, or how the measure would affect the redevelopment timeline. It also does not identify the supporters or opponents, provide their detailed arguments, or state when voters will decide the issue.
Those details are important to understanding the measure’s practical scope. Based on the information provided, the central question is whether zoning and financing decisions related to the former power plant redevelopment should require voter approval. The stated disagreement is over whether that requirement would increase public participation or make development more complicated.
No outcome has been provided, and the measure’s status beyond being set to go before voters is not specified. Further details about the ballot language, the proposed changes and financing, and the election schedule were not included in the available summary.
