Administration
It has been about 10 months since we moved into our new 10,000 Square Foot facility at 8484 Olde 8 Road. The building (shown above in the newsletter) is an all encompassing facility, 80% for the fire department, and 20% for administration offices including a meeting room. All township staff are now working from this location and we could not be happier how things have gone. As for our old fire station, the board of trustees has decided to sell that property. There has been interest from potential buyers, however no final decisions have been made.
The Old Townhall Building on Brandywine is closed at this time. Our Townhall Committee, made up of wonderful residents, did make a recommendation to the board around repurposing the building and creating a township community space. This is a great idea however the building itself has many challenges including, asbestos, foundational, heating & air and a broken elevator. For now the township will keep the Old Townhall closed and not allow any groups to rent the space given those challenges. More to come, and as we work on updates we will pass them along.
Next month there will be a total solar eclipse passing North America. Much of northeast Ohio is in the path of the eclipse and the Township is working with City of Macedonia Fire Department along with Summit County Sherriff Office. We expect increased traffic and potential cell service overloads so please be prepared. Northfield Center Township Trustees would encourage residents to stay home for the eclipse if possible. Also a reminder that schools are closed that day.
Lastly, don’t forget there is a Primary Election Day on Tuesday March 19th. Please visit the Summit County Board of Elections to find your polling location. Northfield Center Township Residents have two issues on the ballot- one for Policing and one for the Nordonia City Schools. Please don’t forget to vote!
