U.S. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette, R-Bainbridge Township, announced this afternoon that the fiscal year 2010 interior and environment spending bill has been approved by the House.
The bill sets aside $4 million for the Cuyahoga Valley National Park to acquire more than 600 acres near Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls.
The land is within the park boundary but is owned by the nonprofit arm of the Cleveland Orchestra.
Another $500,000 is set aside for the park's effort to restore historic structures.
The bill also designates $500,000 for Stow for a sanitary sewer project on Seasons Road, near the site of a proposed $100 million Summa Health System hospital complex.
The Senate is expected to vote on the measure today.

Set aside a few million more to buy out Timber Top and that other dumpy apt. Sec. 8 complex across the street on Portage Trail and turn it into parkland....shees...
Why can't they figure that out? They (the Gov't via Sec. 8) are already subsidising it, and it is not far from the park. Cut out the middle man (the complex owner).....
While they are at it, take over Big Bend, Schumaker trail, and Sand Run and put it in the formal park....just my views...

@Jabarten: I mostly agree with you, but Sandrun might not be taken care of if the fed owns it.

The Cleveland Orchestra needs money. That's why they are selling off some of their property. You might say it's a bailout. This article doesn't tell the whole story.
