City Council OKs Bath Road Nursing Facility

The Cuyahoga Falls City Council passed two ordinances at its regular council meeting Monday, which came on the heels of emergency committee meetings to expedite some pressing matters.

After about 45 minutes of back-and-forth from various parties in committee, the council approved a plan to develop a 55,000-square-foot, 100-unit skilled nursing facility at 185 W. Bath Rd.

The council also approved a plan to begin exploring a grant application to the Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund, which could lead to changing traffic patterns near the bakery on Broad Boulevard and Newberry and possibly reopening the old Main Street.

Also getting a lot of attention Monday was the Cuyahoga River Restoration Project, which includes plans to remove dams within Cuyahoga Falls city limits to restore the river to its original condition and with an eye on possibly removing the Edison dam at Gorge Metro Park.
