Council Will Look at 2012 Budget, I-480 Resurfacing Project

Twinsburg's 2012 appropriations and a decision on the SR/91 and I-480 resurfacing project will be two items of discussion when city council meets tonight.

Also, City Council will vote on whether or not to accept the bid from Barbicas Construction, in Akron, to work on the resurfacing project for SR 91/Darrow Road and I-480.
