Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Green public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Organic Smiles Site Plan
A new Organic Smiles business proposed for 808 E. Turkeyfoot Lake Road went before the board for site plan review. The review covers the building plans, elevations, and landscaping in a B-1 business zone.
Legacy Point Identification Sign
A new ID sign for Heritage Landscape Supply at 4940 Aultman Road needs design tweaks — a white split block base matching the building, a verified 10-foot setback from the road, and year-round landscaping. The sign company says revised plans will be ready for the Planning and Zoning Commission in two weeks.
TIF exemptions for Chick-fil-A and Brenneman projects
A 30-year TIF on a roughly $1.8 million medical spa and financial office building at 4228 Town Crossing, feeding the Town Park TIF including the planned Burgess–Town Park connector.
Oak Clinic's new Green facility
The Oak Clinic will build a 30,000 sq ft MS clinic at 1928 Burgess Drive by 2028, bringing 600+ patients a month to Green. It asked the city to remove the boulevard at Massillon/Burgess and build a connecting road to Town Park Blvd for safety.
Friendly Express gas station at S. Main and SR 619
A former radio building on a tight corner lot is being converted into a Friendly Express gas station and convenience store. The owner agreed to shave 20 feet off the building and drop the drive-thru so trucks and cars with trailers can actually move around the pumps — a fix the board liked.
Chapel in Green expansion
The church is adding a 6,000-square-foot, 400-person community room with outdoor-access restrooms, aimed at smaller events, special-needs ministry and community gatherings.
Southwood Drive Phase 2 Construction
The dedication plat and a $1.23 million Cavanaugh contract would finish the Southwood Drive connection between Tabbs Drive and Arlington Road, easing pressure on Bettler Road — especially during Arlington construction.
