Mayor Corcoran on North Ridgeville’s Growth: From Planning to Progress

On behalf of the City of North Ridgeville, I’m pleased to share the 2026-2027 North Ridgeville Magazine with you. This publication offers a closer look at local businesses, city resources and some of the people, places and organizations that make North Ridgeville a great place to call home.

North Ridgeville continues to grow, and with that growth comes both promise and responsibility. The Ridgeville Ready Master Plan established a community-driven vision for our future. Today, our focus is on putting that vision into action through thoughtful investments in our roads, infrastructure, parks and public spaces while also taking a comprehensive look at how our land use and zoning regulations can best support the community we are becoming.

Quality of life is an important part of that work. Access to parks, trails, green space and recreational amenities contribute to the health and character of our community. Sandy Ridge Reservation, featured on this year’s cover, is one of the outstanding regional park resources our residents enjoy, now offering even more to explore with the new Sandy Ridge West trail.

Our local businesses are equally important to North Ridgeville’s vitality. From long-established companies to businesses opening their doors for the first time, they create jobs, provide services and bring energy to our city. Their continued investment, along with the involvement of residents, volunteers and community organizations, helps make North Ridgeville a place where people want to live, work and spend time.

There is a great deal happening in North Ridgeville and even more ahead. As we move from planning to progress, our goal remains clear: preserve what people value about our community while building a strong foundation for the generations that will call North Ridgeville home next.
