Aurora will pay for Geauga Lake deal with income tax revenue and Covid relief funds

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Aurora city leaders say they will take $1,341,527 from the city’s general fund and almost $1.29 million from its share of Covid relief fund distributions to pay for nearly 100 acres of land on and around the former Geauga Lake amusement park.

The total purchase price is set at $4.5 million, plus up to $140,000 in closing costs and other fees.
