Home Care In Seven Hills, OH

SEVEN HILLS, Ohio — Looking ahead to the new year, Seven Hills Mayor Anthony D. Biasiotta has high hopes.

“2026 should be a banner year for Seven Hills,” he said.

The biggest project, after decades in the making, is the development of roughly 50 acres along the south side of Rockside Road.

Centered around a 60,000-square-foot Nobis Rehabilitation Hospital, the more than $100 million economic development project includes retail, commercial and office space, including Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant.

There’s also a residential component with Medina-based Pulte Homes building single-family homes and townhouses that will have access to Rockside and Crossview roads.

Cleveland.com previously reported a completed rehabilitation hospital is estimated to annually bring in nearly $500,000 in taxes to the city, as well as more than $700,000 to Parma City Schools.

Also, the city could expect nearly $400,000 in income taxes related to construction.

“That long sought-after project coming to fruition is really exciting,” he said.

Other city projects include the Hickory Lane stormwater basin, which is designed to reduce overland flooding affecting an upstream neighborhood that includes Cresthill Drive, Jasmine Drive and Cricket Lane.

The plan is to add a retention basin that will remain dry but will be utilized as a floodplain during a heavy storm.

“Next year, we’re doubling up on sewer cleaning,” he said.

“It’s our intent to finish a three-year cycle of having completed cleaning all sewers in the city.”

The fire station will also receive a much-needed update in 2026 with a new roof and sleeping quarters featuring four individually furnished 96-square-foot dorm-style rooms.

In addition to renovating an existing storage room into a locker room for incoming and outgoing shift changes, the apparatus bays will receive a new coat of paint.

“We have major projects in every aspect of city government scheduled for 2026,” he said.

“Turning a page on the future of Seven Hills, we have an exciting year ahead of us.”

SEVEN HILLS, Ohio -- Decades in the making, the recent groundbreaking of the more than $100 million development of roughly 50 acres along the south side of Rockside Road dominated headlines in 2025.

“Being a mature community, these new economic development opportunities are few and far between, so it’s very important that this last major project be handled with care -- and it was,” Mayor Anthony D. Biasiotta said.

Centered around a 60,000-square-foot Nobis Rehabilitation Hospital, the major economic development project also includes four outlots (retail, commercial, office) -- such as Cooper’s Hawk Winery & Restaurant -- located on six acres directly south of Rockside Road.

There’s also a residential component, with Medina-based Pulte Homes building single-family homes and townhouses with egress and entrance to Rockside Road and Crossview Road.

“The success we are having is built upon the efforts of my predecessors, as well as keeping an open mind to change,” Biasiotta said.

“From each time the property was attempted to be developed and it didn’t happen, we learned a little something from that.

“Now, we found a mix that works for the city in terms of new housing and economic revenue stream for the future.”

cleveland.com previously reported that a completed rehabilitation hospital is estimated to bring in nearly $500,000 a year in taxes to the city, as well as more than $700,000 to Parma City Schools.

The city also could expect nearly $400,000 in income taxes related to construction.

“New business development is important for any community, as it’ll be a driver of new income tax that will allow us to continue to provide wonderful city operations that people come to expect for the next four years at least -- with no impact on taxes,” Biasiotta said.

“One way for the city to fight inflation is the new business development.

“Even further down the road, when the business community sees the investment that’s being made in Seven Hills, that’s going to attract even further investment in the corridor.”

Other citywide achievements in 2025 included a $1,595,000 streets project repaving Maureen, Kuenzer, Darrow, Ridgeview and Panorama drives, as well as additional in-house concrete road repairs.

“We had a number of things in 2025 that people have grown accustomed to now -- a robust road resurfacing program, infrastructure improvements and park improvements,” the mayor said.

“We also continue to enhance our events.”

In terms of finances, Biasiotta said the city is “strong.”

Seven Hills expects to end the year with a general fund balance of $6.2 million.

“My message to the community is 2025 was another successful year for Seven Hills,” he said.

“There was a lot to be proud of, but even more to look forward to.”

SEVEN HILLS, Ohio -- City Council is expected to soon pass a new pay range for the position of part-time deputy finance director.

“This minor finance change is just regular business,” Mayor Anthony D. Biasiotta said. “It hasn’t been updated in six years.

“The marketplace is incredibly tight for experienced finance professionals, so this is just doing our due diligence for a periodic update.”

The part-time deputy finance director position has a pay range of $22.80 to $41.12 an hour.

Deputy Finance Director William VonAlt currently earns $39 an hour.

If passed, the updated pay range jumps to $41.12 to $50 an hour.

“This pay range reflects the current market rate and also is absolutely deserving to keep a key employee, such as our current deputy finance director, William VonAlt,” Biasiotta said

“He has a master’s degree, various certifications and over 40 years of job experience -- mostly as a CFO and finance director.

“We’re incredibly lucky to have him.”

With the new salary range, the mayor said he plans on increasing VonAlt’s hourly wage to $48, which also leaves room for future cost-of-living adjustments.

Biasiotta noted that the timing of the salary range update is due to VonAlt’s performance, but also to staying competitive in the marketplace.

The city’s current finance director, Aaron Frank, is also part-time, earning $46,000 annually.

“Our Finance Department is in excellent hands, so we’re always looking down the road to ensure that it stays that way,” Biasiotta said.

The mayor noted that as recently as 2019, the city had a full-time finance director and a full-time deputy.

The former earned $96,000 plus benefits, while the latter made $39 an hour.

“We found a way here with qualified people in a budget-friendly situation where both positions are part-time,” Biasiotta said.

“When you factor this part-time deputy’s pay after this and the current finance director’s pay -- and the fact they don’t have benefits -- the total package for these two is less than what we (were) paying both people.

“So we’re lucky and fortunate at this time.”

Seven Hills over the last few years has been continually updating pay ranges and salaries for director and supervisor positions, as well as a new mayor’s salary beginning with the position’s next term.

“The next department to get the top-to-bottom look is our Law Department,” Biasiotta said.

“I’ll look over that during the next couple of months and introduce proposals to City Council to bring our Law Department up to current standards and make it competitive with our peers.”
