The Lake View Urban Renewal Project will be discussed on February 17. Following the development of a master plan in 1960, the City of Barberton began the process of winning federal urban development funds for the re-development of the downtown area. The project drew strong reactions from residents; supporting and opposing. After much political angling, the project ultimately failed to move forward, and in 1970, the federal money had to be returned. See what this project was all about!
