CANFIELD

Gary O’Nesti, LRC Realty of Akron developer, announced the company is trying to find the appropriate tenant to add a fourth 10,000-square-foot building to the three-building construction site on the corner of U.S. Route 224 and Raccoon Road.

Currently, GetGo, Starbucks and Chipotle are being constructed as Phase One and Phase Two.

Phase Three, O’Nesti said, will bring a fourth business to the corridor’s east side. There have been no decisions made as to what tenant will go in the building.

Once the decision is made, Frank Licata, president of LRC Realty, said he will have to go through the “red tape” again in approving design plans and taking the right legal steps before he can even think about building.

The current development has been in the works for the past two years.

O’Nesti said GetGo is expected to open for business in mid-October, and Starbucks and Chipotle are scheduled to open more toward the winter holidays.

Licata said he is excited for the businesses to come to Canfield.

O’Nesti did not disclose how much these projects cost, but he estimated the combined total was a multimillion-dollar project.

“These businesses will have a significant impact for [Mahoning] county and [Canfield] township,” he said.
