A petition to annex 183 acres in Fairfield Township into the city of Columbiana could, if approved, pave the way for a “significant development project,” according to attorney Mark Huston, who presented the request to Columbiana County commissioners, wfjm.com reports. The privately owned land near Cherry Fork Road is “the subject of discussions between landowners and a private company,” Huston said, but he declined to identify the company other than as “a ‘global manufacturer’ who is deciding whether to acquire the property and begin construction.” Columbiana County Commissioner Mike Halleck “could not release any project information other than that it is ‘not retail,’” according to the article. Huston said the company hopes to “establish operations in Columbiana” but that other sites out of Ohio are “vying for the project.” For more, read the full article.
