AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

The Boardman Township Elected Officials would like to cordially invite you to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony for the New Main Fire Station 71.

The ceremony will take place Thursday, March 30^th, 2017 at 4:00 p.m. (rain or shine) at 7440 Market Street (corner of Market Street and Stadium Drive).

CTW Development Corp. of Boardman will start the redevelopment of the plaza at the corner of U.S. Route 224 and Tiffany South Boulevard this week.

The plaza, which houses a Dunkin’ Donuts, Papa John’s Pizza, Subway and other businesses, will be knocked down. A new plaza will be constructed before the old one is gone, and a stand-alone Dunkin’ Donuts with a drive-thru will be built.

The new plaza, at 19,700 square feet, will feature about 10 storefronts, with most of the current occupants expected to stay.

A Salem construction company will build the new central fire station in Boardman. Boardman Township Trustees announced Friday the J. Herbert Construction company has been awarded the contract to build the new station on a vacant property. It will be located on Market Street and Stadium Drive, next to Boardman Center Middle School.

Construction will begin next month and should be finished by year’s end.

Trustee Larry Moliterno called building the fire station a “once-in-a-generation event.”

Fire Chief Mark Pitzer is glad to have something new: “To be able to replace it now, it’s big for our fire department. It’s a big morale booster, too.”

Rocky DiGennaro, president of Western Reserve Building Trades, publicly thanked the trustees for agreeing to use as many local union workers as possible during construction of the new Boardman Fire Station.

A BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse will open in April at the site of the now-shuttered Cheddar’s Casual Cafe, 7327 Market St.

BJ’s purchased the land, knocked down the former restaurant and built new. BJ’s, a California-based chain with 177 restaurants in 23 states, submitted construction plans to the Boardman Zoning Department in July 2016.

BJ’s first opened in the late 1970s at locations on the coast of Southern California. It has seven locations in Ohio. The Boardman BJ’s will feature the restaurant’s 130-plus-item menu, including its well-known deep-dish pizza and craft beer.

Hiring for BJ’s will begin in March. It hires between 150 to 200 people for each new restaurant. For information go to: careers.workatbjs.com.
