What is going on with the Rockside Road project, now called Sora Hill?
A. The developer, David Slyman, has successfully purchase nearly all of the needed land for the 75-acre mixed use, lifestyle center. As a point of reference, Legacy Village is about 45-acres and Crocker Park is about 55-acres. Plans for the development continue behind the scenes with engineering work taking place, easements and permits being acquired, etc. The sluggish economy has slowed the project to a stop, but when there are signs of life in the marketplace, this should be one of the first projects to hit the ground running. The project is alive thanks to the fact the developer has spent so much money purchasing the land. If that land had not been purchased, the project could have died the way many other proposals that were once potential competitors died.
