CANFIELD

Canfield city and township have struck a tentative tax-revenue sharing, water and sewer deal to bring a proposed nursing home to reality.

After months of negotiation, the proposed Windsor House, its location bordered by state Route 446 and Mill Creek MetroParks Farm, is a step closer to bringing 72 to 80 full-time jobs to

Canfield.

“We are ecstatic,” said Canfield Mayor Bernie Kosar Sr.

The Joint Economic Development District means the city and township will share tax revenue, costs of police and fire protection and road maintenance for the facility as well as water and sanitary services.
