Introduction

The groundbreaking Valor Acres and the Sherwin-Williams Global Research & Development Center projects have been underway since 2018. These developments, initiated by Mayor Jerry Hruby and backed by successive City Councils, set the stage for Brecksville’s flourishing future.

Daryl Kingston’s Commitment

Electing me as your Mayor would mean entrusting these endeavors’ culmination and long-term success to a leader intimately familiar with their intricacies. I have dedicated myself to being present at every Planning Commission meeting related to Valor Acres. This has given me a comprehensive understanding of the project’s current status and the foresight to steer it to fruition.

Economic Impacts and Benefits

Employment Opportunities: Sherwin-Williams is poised to introduce over 1,000 jobs at its new Global Research & Development Center. Additionally, Valor Acres is predicted to employ several thousand individuals.

Stable Property Tax Rates: This kind of economic boom is a testament to our City’s dedication to maintaining stable property tax rates for nearly four decades.

Enhanced South End District: Valor Acres and Sherwin-Williams are not just developments but magnets. Their presence boosts the attractiveness of our entire South End district, with companies now eager to set up shop in or near these pivotal locations.

Enhancing Lifestyle and Connectivity

Retail Expansion: Valor Acres is set to increase retail options, bringing diverse shopping experiences closer to home.

Park Integrations: The development will beautifully integrate with two of our region’s most treasured assets: the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Cleveland Metroparks Brecksville Reservation.

Housing Innovations

Valor Acres introduces a housing model previously unseen in Brecksville. This innovative approach targets young professionals, many of whom may find employment at Sherwin-Williams or within Valor Acres itself. Additionally, this provides an ideal solution for our longtime residents looking to downsize yet remain within the community they love.

Honoring Our Heroes

Central to the development is the proposed Memorial Park. This sacred space is a tribute to all US military personnel. A special plaque will adorn the park, detailing the pivotal milestones of the hospital that previously occupied the space, honoring the legacy of the Veterans, medical staff, administrators, volunteers, and safety services personnel.
