You can buy ionization purifiers that emit ozone in your house, however too much can be dangerous to your health. But my question is, if we have this technology that makes ozone, couldn't a huge ozone emitter be made and targeted to parts of the atmostphere to create huge amounts of ozone and repair it?

Yes, your hypothesis is worthy of consideration.

No, most likely not.
Ozone is located in the Stratosphere, which is above the layer of the atmosphere we are in. Many people have said well, since in Los Angeles/Mexico city that the Ozone there will eventually rize above the city saving the Ozone layer or adding to it.
Well, these people are wrong. The Ozone cloud over the cities will stay put there until it is disposed/dispersed of. The Ozone will eventually disperse, however this may take hundreds of thousands of years to get the ozone to rise into the ozone layer area of the Stratosphere.
Plus the only time people/humans have entered the stratosphere was when space programs took place. They only stay there for a few minutes before exiting into the Mesosphere.
I hope that helps.

The CFCs in the atmosphere would act upon any man-made ozone just as it acts on naturally occurring ozone. Also, the price of construction, not to mentions engineering, would be prohibitive. The real solution is to stop releasing CFCs into the atmosphere. This is being done and the ozone layer is recovering.

The largest maker of ozone is lighting storms. If we use our electricty today to make ozone it make too much CO2
