Akron schools to get animal shelter back
August 8th, 2010Akron schools soon will add a vacant dog pound to their inventory of buildings.
The district is reclaiming the property, about an acre, that it once owned at 460 E. North St.
In the mid-1950s, the school board gave Summit County the property and a building for a dog pound with the provision that if it ever ceased to be a pound, the district would get it back.
The county’s Division of Animal Control is moving to a new nearly $3 million animal shelter at 250 Opportunity Parkway in Akron. It is expected to open at the end of August.
The school board voted Monday night to accept the transfer.
