Dear Prospective Homeowner,

On behalf of Village Council, we welcome your interest in The Village of Gates Mills and hope that you will decide to make the Village your home.  Gates Mills was founded more than 180 years ago with two clusters of mills along the Chagrin River.  Today the Village is a unique blend of Western Reserve architecture, civic engagement and environmental sustainability, while conveniently located close to Cleveland and its many cultural amenities.  This combination makes Gates Mills one of the most desirable communities in Northeast Ohio.

News Article - Snow Removal

The snow and ice removal service on Village roadways is dictated by weather conditions with the main roads given first priority for plowing and salting to insure emergency accessibility and traffic flow. Secondary residential streets are plowed as soon as possible thereafter.

Snow removal and salting for Mayfield Road within the Village of Gates Mills is the responsibility of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).

The Village currently uses a combination of salt and # 8 slag on the roadways to prevent ice forming and to improve traction.
