JEDD U: Under the terms of the Joint Economic Development District (JEDD) Agreement between Cuyahoga Falls and Boston Township, Cuyahoga Falls proposes to install a water line along Akron-Cleveland Road from approximately Seasons Road to Suncrest Garden Center. The proposed water line will be sent out for bid in June with construction to start in August prior to the resurfacing of Akron-Cleveland Road. Property owners along the water line will be contacted as information becomes available as to the cost to connect to the proposed water line. The JEDD is continuing to discuss options to extend sanitary sewers along the same route.
