The city of New Philadelphia is reaching out to developers and potential tenants to see what they could do with the former Howden Buffalo property on South Broadway.  

Mayor Joel Day was telling council Monday night that the Tuscarawas County Economic Development and Finance Alliance is now seeking development proposals for the location. Responses are due by 3 pm on September 27th

Day has said he feels the site has a lot of potential as the new zoning code that council will consider calls for the property to be rezoned for mixed uses to serve as an extension of the downtown business district.  He’s hoping one of the included uses is much-needed housing.

The request for proposal can be found at the city’s website. There’s also a post with the link on the city’s Facebook page.
