Construction is expected to wrap up by the end of the month.
The renovated Brecksville Town Center was officially unveiled Thursday morning amid the sounds of construction. The project was expected to be done in time for the ribbon cutting, but a wet summer and fall pushed construction back just a bit. Denise Blank, property manager at The Snider Company, said everything should be done by the end of November. Gregory W. Barrow, the vice president of construction services at Visconsi Companies Ltd., said the company studied the traffic patterns at the center when designing the renovations, and noticed that people liked to wander around a bit, visiting multiple stores.

Residents in Echo Hills, Snowville Road and Dewey Road will be affected.
Water will be shut off for a number of residents Thursday night as the construction on the Snowville Road sanitary sewer project continues. Gerald Wise, the city’s engineer, said during Tuesday’s City Council committee meeting that construction crews have to raise the water main for part of the construction, which means service will have to be shut off. Wise said this will affect all of Echo Hills, Snowville Road from about 1,000 feet west of Dewey Road to where the street ends and the portion of Dewey Road that is located in Brecksville. Water will be shut off at 10 p.m. and should be back on at 5 a.m., he said.

The project began at the end of June.
The renovations at the Brecksville Town Center are in progress. Construction at the Brecksville Town Center began at the end of June, according to a press release from The Snider Company. The release noted that crews have been taking down the facades of the buildings at either end of the center and updating other areas like storm sewers. In June, Denise Blank, property manager at the Snider Company, said the renovations would make the center look more like a “main street” with distinctly different fronts for the businesses and stores. The center’s name also changed from the Brecksville Shopping Center to the Brecksville Town Center.

Council approved resolutions related to some new construction projects and heard updates on Tuesday’s flood.
Much of the time set aside for the committee meetings before Tuesday’s City Council meeting was used to discuss yesterday’s flooding. Overnight rains closed some roads, and city employees were out in the early hours of the morning, trying to keep everything under control. While there were a number of areas with flood damage—mainly Mill Road—many other places around town stood up well to the storm, Mayor Jerry N. Hruby said. He added that the places where the city has invested money did well. Fire Chief Ed Egut noted that the damage was only a small percentage of what the city saw in the 2006 floods.

The library is undergoing a number of improvements this summer.
The Brecksville branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library has been less than quiet this summer. The library is going through a number of improvements this summer, said branch manager Cathy Schultis. Work is still being finished on the roof, and various repairs are being made to some of the bricks and stones around the building. The skylights and the heating and air conditioning units were replaced earlier this summer. The roofing company, Campopiano Roofing, was the main contractor on the projects, Schultis said, and subcontractors have been working on other parts of the project.
