Columbiana Co. commissioners approve annexation of land to Salem

LISBON — The Columbiana Co. commissioners today unanimously approved the annexation of about 99 acres straddling Perry Township in Columbiana County and Green Township in Mahoning County to the city of Salem.

The commissioners said that based on the advice from the county prosecutor’s office they had to approve the annexation.

Salem Mayor Jerry Wolford, who sought the annexation and acted as the agent for the proposal, said the move would allow room for future city growth.
