on constructing a 7,000-square foot building on the Lorain Road site. While that deal fell through, Patton said it was a blessing in disguise for Fairview Park.

"Andrako then purchased the building on the corner of Lorain Road and W. 210th Street," Patton said. "They transformed that 1950s building into one of the most beautiful buildings in our city. So it's a win for Fairview Park."

The Mayor expects City Council to approve the tax abatement application. Once passed, that means the city's 15-year effort to convert old Lorain Road motels into areas of economic development will be complete.

In 2001 and 2002, the Country Inn South, the Park Motel and the Manor Motel, located between West 203th Street and West 206th Street, were demolished giving way to the McGowan InsuranceHeadquarters and West Valley Medical Building. Also, the Cleveland Motel in 2011 was demolished and sold to North Coast Credit Union.

In related economic development news, Patton said there appears to be movement regarding the two former NASA buildings along Brookpark Road that have been vacant for years.

Developer Ceres Development plans to convert the three-story structures and its combined 200,000 square feet of space into a mixed-use facility that will include restaurants, retail, a boutique hotel and living arrangements.

"This week they're bringing in plans for the demo on the inside of the building, so this is a real positive step," Patton said. "This is the first time we're getting plans. Also, they're at work with the city of Cleveland to purchase the parking lot to the east of it
