Beth Sullebarger, from the historic preservation consulting firm Sullebarger Associates presented the plan on behalf of the HPPC. She commented that the HPPC had two decisions to make. The first is whether the current property can be saved and the second, if it can’t be saved, what kind of new building should be approved. She said that regarding the current building, it appears to have been built in the early 1900’s as it can be seen in a 1911 Sanborn Map of historic Loveland. She shared pictures of the property, both inside and out. The structure had been gutted down to the studs and then demolished.
Key suggestions by Sullebarger were as follows:
In introducing the resolution, Clerk of Council Misty Clark said, “If designated, it would join an elite group of just 11 National Scenic Trails, and it would become the fifth largest in the nation. It would also be the only loop trail and the first to receive this designation since 2009. Clark added that the designation would bring “significant benefits, including increased federal support, enhanced visibility, and expanded opportunities for community and economic development throughout Ohio.”
Since its establishment in 1959, the Buckeye Trail has grown from a 500-mile route into the nation’s largest loop trail, closing the loop in Cuyahoga Valley National Park in 1980. Free and open to all, 1,454 miles of the Buckeye Trail pass through 21 designated Buckeye Trail Towns and landmarks such as Wayne National Forest, Serpent Mound, and Fort Ancient, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Buckeye Trail is within 90 minutes of every Ohioan, providing an accessible connection to Ohio’s Great Outdoors and showcasing the state’s scenic and historical diversity.
