CAMPAIGN UPDATE (April 2020)
Western Reserve Land Conservancy, the largest land trust in Ohio, has reached a deal with developer Robert Vitt to purchase a historic 1-acre property located on what is known as Grove Hill in Chagrin Falls. The Land Conservancy plans to preserve the iconic 1878 Bancroft House and create a public gathering space in partnership with the Village of Chagrin Falls.
However, if the Land Conservancy is unable to raise $600,000 within 45 days (by May 9), the deal falls through and Vitt would renew his effort to demolish the historic home and build five new homes on the site.
