Construction to begin on special-needs facility

CANFIELD

The construction of Walnut Grove, a special-needs outdoor venue at 8800 Columbiana-Canfield Road, will begin within the next few weeks, said Al Conti, Walnut Grove president.

Walnut Grove will comprise half of a 20-acre parcel owned and operated by a nonprofit organization, the Henry M. Halstead Field of Opportunity, which is dedicated to serving special-needs children.

Ten acres for Walnut Grove will be dedicated to developing to wetlands and trails. The remaining 10 acres will be dedicated to developing a playground and facility specific to special-needs children and their families.
