June 4, 201213 yr Opinion goes both ways on two-way N. Main Street proposal 6:25 AM, Jun. 3, 2012 | Written by Kaitlin Durbin The divide in opinion on the North Main Street proposal is as sharp as the yellow line that would separate traffic. After discussing the idea May 23, many merchants remain unconvinced the conversion to two-way traffic would benefit their business, let alone Mansfield. But Marianne Cooper, owner of the Richland Academy of Arts, has seen her school through multiple traffic conversions and said there is nothing to fear. Richland Academy, on the corner of West Dickson Avenue and Walnut Street (parallel to North Main), has seen three traffic conversions in 21 years: from two-way to one-way and back to two-way in 2010. Cooper said she prefers two-way traffic simply for safety reasons. Read More...

Mike DeWine's office announced Wednesday, Aug. 25. The Mansfield Air National Guard base is likely to house the military branch's initial expansion into cybersecurity, pending the results from a required environmental impact analysis. The project is expected to bring 175 STEM and IT jobs to Richland County, about one hour south of Cleveland. The air base, home of the 179th Airlift Wing, was one of two locations under consideration; the other was the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Minnesota."
August 26, 20213 yr Very cool…! I always liked Mansfield…always thought the city center had good bones and the fact that it was between CLE and Columbus made it a cool location….the only place in the state where you could see teams from all 4 major sports leagues within an hour’s drive….and the topography is amazing. For those of us who still like to drive our manual transmission sports cars on country roads the hills and twists are great…not to mention Mid-OH being a few minutes away. Great news for the area!
