Welcome to the City of Avon Lake

On behalf of the residents and businesses in Avon Lake we ask you to spend some time on this website. We are proud of our city and all it has to offer. From the shores of Lake Erie where we have initiated several summer festivals to celebrate our greatest asset, to the pleasant neighborhoods where a wide variety of housing can be found, you will find residents enjoying what our city has to offer.

We are pleased to be the corporate home of PolyOne, and major facilities of Lubrizol and the Ohio Truck Plant of Ford Motor Company. Exciting things are happening at businesses such as Thogus where 3-D printing and other new manufacturing processes are being developed in this rebirth of manufacturing. Along with scores of small and thriving businesses, they all provide us a quality of life due to the jobs they offer the residents of this region and a tax base to maintain the city services that people have come to expect.

Our residents respond to the needs of others through the various churches in our community and also by supporting our local social service agency, CRS, which offers folks a helping hand in times of financial and social distress. We are proud of the community spirit that has built our excellent school system and the incredible accomplishments of the students who have graduated from it over the years. Many have become business owners in town and others have moved on to do wonderful things elsewhere. And we are proud of the individuals and businesses featured in this publication as they are the future of our city.

As you peruse this website you will learn a great deal about our community and those who make it a grand place whether you are a current or prospective resident. If you wish to start a business here, give us a call.

Come and join us here on the shores of one of the Great Lakes!

Greg Zilka, Mayor
