Paris

The Paris Township Trustees approved the use of Savvy Citizen, a free, PA-based, one-way communication app and service that allows local governments, including various townships and boroughs, to send alerts about community events, road closures and important news directly to residents via smartphone notifications, text messages or email.

“We’re in the early stages, but it’s in the works,” township Co-Chair Dave Kemble said. “The app will allow us to share zoning and other important information with our residents. It’s like what you would get when you get a notification on your phone.”

The cost to the township will be a $300 setup fee plus $129 per month.

The township’s annual Spring Cleanup will be from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 9. Dumpsters will be set up at the Shearer Community Center at 9355 Newton Falls Rd. Residents can bring garbage. There will be some items that will not be accepted. More information to come.

Rootstown

Water Resources will soon be working on a project on Rosalind Drive in Rootstown that will tie a couple of lots into a sewer.

“This is not through the township, but they just wanted to make us aware of it,” township Trustee Dave McIntyre said.
