“That kills those 1400 jobs. It kills nearly $350 million worth of new investment,” said Painesville City Manager Doug Lewis.However, Mentor has made it clear from previous News 5 reports that this ordinance does not change anything besides clarifying the land’s exact legal status. Lewis disagrees, saying Painesville City Council proposed to split 50% of their income-tax revenue with Mentor through a Joint Economic Development Agreement in 2023, which would also address Mentor’s traffic concerns to finance necessary road improvements.“There’s also been no real analysis done in terms of what potential income tax revenue could be generated from that site,” said Filipiak.“We’re not going to sit back. I mean, it’s very important for us to develop this property,” said Lewis.
