Plans for Innerbelt Bridge ramp force Stripmatic products
to move from Abbey Avenue location

(Plain Press, March 2010) Bill Adler, owner of Stripmatic Products on the East Side of the Abbey Road Bridge, says his company will be forced to move to make way for a ramp planned for the new Innerbelt Bridge. Adler says he is currently looking for a new location for his manufacturing company, a stamping plant that makes parts for the auto industry. Adler says he and his employees will miss the Tremont neighborhood and their regular visits to neighborhood restaurants and the West Side Market. With the loss of prime industrial land to the Steelyard Commons retail development, few viable options exist that would offer employees living south of Cleveland easy freeway access. Adler has looked at a number of potential sites to rebuild the company and is currently leaning toward a site out near Cleveland Hopkins airport. Gateway Animal Clinic, across Abbey from Stripmatic Products, will lose part of its property and may also move as a result of the Ohio Department of Transportation Innerbelt Bridge construction project.
