City OKs Tallmadge Road Resurfacing

Cuyahoga Falls City Council voted unanimously to resurface the road — between Newberry Street and Clyde Avenue — at a cost of $500,000

Tallmadge Road will be getting some attention after school ends in June.

At its Monday night meeting, Cuyahoga Falls City Council voted unanimously to resurface the road — between Newberry Street and Clyde Avenue — at a cost of $500,000, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

A state grant will cover 80 percent of the total, so the city will be responsible for about $100,000.
