What's going on around Kent, Ohio?

There is a lot going on in Kent these days. Excitement about many projects that are revitalizing the city/downtown.

1)River Water Park
Kayak, canoe, fishing, tubing, and general use of the river. Will be a unique gem to the region.

2)Fairchild Bridge
New automobile bridge that is aligned with Fairchild Rd. and directs traffic into the downtown. The neighborhood where Lake and Crain meet will be much nicer with trees, and elimination of buildings. There will be a hike and bike bridge across the river as well.

3)Development downtown
Bordered by Depeyster, Water St., Haymaker. A great mix of retail, condominiums, and corporations to revitalize a depressed block.

More to come!
