Pay-to-park proposal in Hiram no more as college, village come to mutual agreement

- Isabella Schreck

Drivers planning to park in the Village of Hiram can keep their change heading into the new year.

Parking will remain free on all village-owned streets following a resolution made Nov. 12 with Hiram College that ended months-long discussions about a pay-to-park proposal from village Mayor Anne Haynam. Instead of the village adding paid parking zones throughout the area to increase revenue for its emergency services, the college will pay $40,000 annually to the village for three years, according to the resolution.
