Paulding, Ohio Theater
In 2022, grant funds became available to the Land Bank through the Ohio Department of Development to clean-up and demolish brownfields. After testing was conducted, it was determined that the old Paulding Theater is unsafe and riddled with hazardous materials. The land bank has applied to the ODOD brownfield program to demolish this property. Due to safety concerns, no individuals are permitted to enter the premises.
