This facility will provide a long-term beneficial use solution for dredged sediments from the federal channel and private facilities that safeguards the future use of Ashtabula Harbor. To view the grant project plans click here , or provide feedback, please contact the Ashtabula City Port Authority at pa@cityofashtabula.com . Ashtabula City Industrial Park Built in 2007, the Ashtabula City Industrial Park offers 9 sites ranging from 1 to 16 acres. It is within ½ mile of a deep water port (Pinney Dock) and is traffic light-free from Route 11. Eligible companies may receive assistance from the County or City Revolving Loan Funds, Industrial Bonds, Community Reinvestment Tax Incentive and/or State Tax Incentives and Financing.

Dredging of the Ashtabula River In November, 2000, the Ashtabula City Port Authority agreed to serve as the Non-Federal Local Sponsor for the Ashtabula River dredging project. The plan for environmental dredging was prepared by the Ashtabula River Partnership. The project was approved under the authorization of the Great Lakes Legacy Act in 2005. Employing a dredge equipped with a 12 inch cutter head the sediments were pumped to a consolidation facility, where the sediments were contained, and the water was decontaminated and returned to the Ashtabula River. A similar dredge equipped with an 8 inch cutter head was used for both attaining final depth and cleanup standards. Following completion of the environmental dredging, Operation and Maintenance dredging was undertaken under authority of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Dredging was initiated in the fall of 2006 and completed during the summer of 2008, removing 630,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from the river. As a result of this project, the Ashtabula River now has a nominal depth of 22 feet, which, once again, accommodates commercial vessels for area industries. The combined projects have removed approximately 25,000 pounds of PCB’s, as well as other contaminants from the river. These two dredging projects cost about $75 million and nearly two decades of organization, planning and execution, resulting in the Ashtabula River returning to a clean harbor on Lake Erie, and a “river of many fish”. The Ashtabula River Remediation Action Plan Advisory Committee is currently working to delist the river as an Area of Concern. More information can be found about Ashtabula River 5 ½ Slip Restoration Effort here. The Manistee - The 600′ vessel unloads 7,000 tons of Marblehead limestone at R.W. Sidley’s. The Ashtabula River is now deep enough for lake boats of this size to deliver product to local businesses.

This legislation made the Ashtabula Fire Department one of the first paid fire departments in the State of Ohio. Two pieces of apparatus were purchase; one a 1911 Seagrave chemical truck, the second a 1911 Robinson pumping engine with a chemical tank. Originally six men were hired and in September of 1911 began working out of a station on Bridge Street. This station was used until 1959 when it’s personnel took occupancy of a new station on West Ninth Street. In February of 1912, with the hiring of six additional men, the City opened a newly constructed station on Park Avenue at West 48th Street. The 1911 Robinson pumping engine was taken from Bridge Street and moved into this building. The department now had twelve paid men, with two pieces of motorized apparatus, working out of two stations. This station was manned until the early 1970′s when the proposed widening of 48th Street forced it to be moved. In 1974, with the completion of the present station on Main Avenue, the station on Park Avenue was closed. In 1987, the station on Ninth Street was closed do to financial difficulties within the City of Ashtabula. The Ashtabula Fire Department of today bears little resemblance to the department of 1911. The present Department roster of 21 uniformed personnel, 1 Fire Marshal and a Fire Chief. The station is staffed 24 hours a day with a minimum of 5 fire personnel staffing an Engine, Ladder and an Ambulance, with additional manning accomplished through emergency recall procedures. The two front-line trucks consist of a 1991, 102 foot Grumman Aerialcat Ladder Platform and a 2005 Sutphen Engine.
