Bank files foreclosure against developer of Firestone Farms

COLUMBIANA — Foreclosure action filed against the housing developer at Firestone Farms will not affect home or condo owners or other businesses in the development.

National City Bank, recently purchased by the Pittsburgh-based PNC Bank, filed foreclosure action recently in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court against Meadowbrooke Development run by Wayne Bacon.

Rick Vernal, part-owner of The Links at Firestone Farms, the golf course in the development, said Wednesday the bank filed a foreclosure complaint only against Bacon’s company.

Vernal of Beaver Township, Pa., said the golf course and the banquet center on Firestone Farms property are unaffected by the foreclosure, even though Bacon also is a partner in the golf course and banquet center.
