Canfield hires contractor to building police department expansion

CANFIELD

City council has unanimously approved a contractor to build a police department addition.

Council hired Brock Builders Inc. of Boardman for an amount not to exceed $478,690 to build the 3,500-square-foot expansion.

Councilman Chuck Tieche said at Wednesday’s meeting that the project had been estimated at $500,000.

It’s to be a 180-day construction project, and officials hope the building is under roof before winter weather arrives.

City officials have also been looking over changes to its breed specific language within its dangerous dog ordinance.
