Canfield trustees oppose annexation request

Thursday, March 22, 2007

CANFIELD — The township trustees will object to the annexation of 18.5 acres on state Route 446 to the city.

Property owner Victor Rucci has petitioned Mahoning County for the annexation, and the county commissioners are going to have a public hearing on it at 10 a.m. April 17 at the township hall, said Canfield city manager Charles Tieche.

Trustees have hired an attorney from Akron who specializes in annexation issues, and they will object at the hearing, said trustees chairman Paul Moracco. He said the objection is primarily the loss of land.
