Revised development project proposed for Massillon Road June 12, 2025 By Eric Poston GREEN — A new development project is being proposed on Massillon Road just south of Burgess Drive, which could bring additional restaurants and a new plaza or additional housing to the city. Developer and Green Dairy Queen (DQ) owner Karl Warther, is proposing to amend the conceptual site plan of the existing Planned Development District, known as The Boulevard subdivision. The 23.42-acre district is located on the southeast corner of Massillon Road and Burgess Drive. Original plans reviewed by the Green Planning and Zoning Commission in 2011 included a mixed-use development of retail, office, restaurant space and townhomes. That project did not move forward and revised plans in 2014 replaced the townhomes with market-rate apartments and a senior living facility.

APS provides update on Pfeiffer-Miller South building projectJune 12, 2025 By Abby Cymerman DOWNTOWN AKRON —The Akron Public Schools (APS) Board of Education continued to hear from community members June 9 who are concerned about the future of the combined Pfeiffer Elementary and Miller South School for the Visual and Performing Arts school on the site of the former Kenmore High School. On May 19, the district reported that due to increased inflation, higher labor costs and tariffs on construction supplies, the total costs for the project in Kenmore are estimated at $76 million, leaving a $13 million shortfall, and several options were introduced, which left many community members with more questions than answers. https://www.akron.com/articles/aps-provides-update-on-pfeiffer-miller-south-building-project/ Logan Field House project progressing June 12, 2025 By Eric Poston Construction has begun on the new Logan Field House at Logan Field in Coventry.
