I-Team Report: Status of Summit Street News in Warren, Ohio

Doc here with an I-Team Report on the latest from Summit Street News in Warren, OH.

The team at Summit Street News has been through Hell and back trying to get things worked out with the their building issues, etc. They are playing by the rules, but it seems that their counterparts on the other side of the glass are just jerking them around.

Here is the latest update, courtesy of Eric from Summit Street News:

Just wanted to give people an update on how things are progressing.  

The city has been dragging it's feet with this thing the whole time and is using up as much of their time to respond to our requests as they can.  They are now trying to describe/pigeon hole Summit Street News as an Adult Cabaret so they can use zoning against us, and to try to deny us everything we need to fix things and re-open.  This is not a fight they can win in the end, so we are appealing their decisions and going through all of the steps needed.  

We are unsure of how long this is going to take, but we will provide updates as we have them.

Eric


Thanks Eric... The Journal will be keeping a close eye on the situation. Hang in there!

Thanks,
Doc
