Huber Heights to expand Thomas Cloud Park by 9 acres
In a deal with a private developer, the city of Huber Heights will purchase 9 acres of property in Riverside for the expansion of Thomas Cloud Park.
Huber Heights City Council in June approved a purchase agreement with Oakes Tree Development for a parcel of land located adjacent to the park’s east edge. The acreage is situated just south of Longfellow Avenue near its intersection with Harshmanville Road.
Though the 9-acre parcel is within the boundaries of Riverside, it is currently only accessible via Harshmanville Road, which is owned by Huber Heights. The section of land to be purchased is part of a larger 31-acre parcel owned by Oakes Tree. The 9 acres are divided from the rest of the parcel roughly from north to south by a creek and surrounding trees.

“I resigned in January of 2003 to raise my three daughters full time,” Kreill said. “Then the next year, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of thyroid cancer.”

Not surprisingly, the decision to sell the printing company that evolved from a hobby of Bill and Ivy Schuerholz in the 1940s wasn’t an easy one.
