Planning & Zoning Commission vote scheduled for Feb. 6.
Plans for the first phase of the Wildcat Park Project at Mayfield High School will come up for a Mayfield Village Planning & Zoning Commission vote on Feb. 6.

Construction expected to start in spring.
The Mayfield City School District can proceed with plans the first phase of the Wildcat Park project at Mayfield High School, as plans were approved Wednesday by the Mayfield Village Architectural Review Board.

"I think it'll be a better fit when they build it," DiNardo said. "I've used the same gray, but in industrial buildings in an office/warehouse setting. I think you'll get compliments when it's done." The district plans to…
