Welcome!

Mayor Costabile’s vision for Mayfield Heights is to continue to find new and improved ways to bring benefits
to the entire community. During his first term as Mayor, he was able to settle the long standing Shemo lawsuit in an amount $9,000,000.00 less than what had been proposed prior to taking office. The amount was then further reduced when the Mayor completed negotiations to receive an impact fee in the amount of $500,000.00 for the City. His pursuit of economic development for the City has resulted in key additions to our corporate park bringing new jobs to the area and revitalizing the retail community. The Mayfield Road Improvement Project was managed in an effective manner to cause the least amount of impact on the region while completing this much needed project in a cost effective manner. The Mayor initiated two 3 ½ month winter reprieves to allow the retail community and residents a break from the construction and still completed the project under budget and under its scheduled completion date. To assist, he pursued and obtained for the first time in Mayfield Heights history a nearly $500,000.00 federal grant to assist with the project.

Other first time grants obtained during Mayor Costabile’s first term includes $150,000.00 from the County, to plant over 100 new trees along Mayfield Road and assist business owners with the expense of new signs in addition to improvements to residential streets, and $100,000.00 from the State of Ohio, for Community Center improvements.

A strong proponent of regionalism, Mayor Costabile was elected to serve on the Executive Committee for the Cuyahoga County Mayors and City Managers Association. He was able to work with the School District to obtain Oakville Park, for $1.00 and thus further the residents need for park and green space for years to come. Mayor Costabile has also been in negotiations to bring a regional Recreation Center for the benefit of all residents. Further, the Mayor continues to support other regional efforts such as MIPOD (Mass Inoculation Point of Dispensing) and CERT (Community Emergency Response Team).

To provide better communication and education to the residents, Mayor Costabile promoted the purchase of the City’s first ever AM radio station (1700 AM), the City’s website has been improved and new changes are on the horizon, as well as significant upgrades to the City’s cable station (Time Warner Channel 20).

Ever conscious of environmental issues, Mayor Costabile has initiated the City’s first ever Recycle/Shredding Day and is promoting an Energy Conservation Audit and Capital Improvement project to ensure that City Hall and other city buildings are running in an efficient and energy conscious manner.
