Workshop planned

BOARDMAN

Boardman schools will host a workshop at 8:30 a.m. Friday at Center Middle School on Market Street to discuss the district’s future.

The workshop is the last of three that district officials say are necessary after the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission found some school buildings need to be brought up to code.

The OFCC also recommended building consolidation due to enrollment numbers.

“Now that we have this information, we really want the community’s input on what the future looks like for Boardman schools,” Superintendent Frank Lazzeri said in a news release.

Pavement repairs

AUSTINTOWN

Starting Saturday, the Interstate 80 eastbound ramp to state Route 11 southbound will be closed for pavement repairs until 6 a.m. next Monday.

There also will be various lane restrictions between state Route 46 and the Trumbull County line on I-80 between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. for shoulder reconstruction.

This work is part of the $108.4 million project to widen I-80 between Route 11 and state Route 193/Belmont Avenue. The entire project is expected to be completed by late July 2018.
