AURORA, Ohio — The site of the former Sea World and Geauga Lake Campground could finally be the home to something different than its entertaining past.
A developer wants to build 321 homes and commercial and office space on the old Geauga Lake site, according to News 5 media partner at Ohio.com.
“This is very positive news,” said Mayor Ann Womer Benjamin to Ohio.com. “I am very excited that there is such an interest in a large portion of the vacant land that’s in Aurora.”
The vacant space is owned by Cedar Fair. The proposal to develop a 247-acre parcel is set to be on the city’s planning commission come May 15. The land the group is proposing to develop was formerly occupied by a large parking lot for Sea World, an overflow parking lot, and the campground.
Ohio.com says 321 homes would be built on 111 acres, while 20.6 acres would be reserved for commercial and office space. The remaining 112 acres would be donated to the city for a public park.
