Special meeting
CUYAHOGA FALLS: The Falls City Council will hold a special meeting Monday to discuss and vote on development of a sewer line along Seasons Road.

On Thursday, the Stow Council tabled similar legislation until Monday because of wording.
The Stow Council also learned Thursday that an application for a $750,000 grant to cover some of the costs of the project has been denied by the state.
