GREEN City seeks funds
GREEN: City Council has authorized the filing of an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation to resurface portions of Massillon Road in 2010.
The city will also seek Community Development Block Grant funding for a proposed sanitary trunk sewer project along the same roadway.
City Engineer Paul Pickett said the resurfacing would cost ODOT $1.55 million and Green would pay another $380,000.
Resurfacing would run from the south city limits to Koons Road, from State Road to Wise Road and from Raber Road to the city's northern corporate limits. Another 2.1 miles would be resurfaced in Springfield Township.
Ward 1 Councilman Jim Colopy said the sewer project would only move forward if enough funding is received in a block grant from Summit County's Department of Development.
A final cost figure for the project remains under discussion.

''I decided it was time to step back for a while,'' Taylor said.
Taylor said he might be interested in finding a part-time job in a related field.

The injured teen was found on the side of the road at Whipporwill and Meadow Lark trails shortly after 4 a.m. by an adult who was called to the scene by the driver.
