County roundup: Shalersville to create veterans memorial, plus news from Edinburg and Rootstown

- Roger Gordon

Shalersville Township has been awarded a $5,000 Placemaking Grant from the Akron Cleveland Association of Realtors (ACAR). Only one project in each of Portage, Summit and Cuyahoga counties received funding, and Shalersville was selected for Portage County. The grant will support the creation of Veteran’s Point, featuring a U.S. flag installation, benches and landscaping enhancements.

The township ordered and received its standard 400 tons of salt at $47.65 per ton. The township was also able to secure an additional quantity with a 15% surcharge, bringing the total to nearly 500 tons.
