🏗️ Bath road makeover

Summit County • June 13, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Summit County. A $17 million investment is transforming Bath Road in Cuyahoga Falls, where the Silver Birch assisted living facility will soon replace three single-family homes with a 120-unit complex. Set to break ground this October, the development promises 45 new full-time jobs and continues the wave of infrastructure improvements sweeping through the area, including the ambitious $10 million State Road upgrade that will reshape local traffic patterns by 2029.

Foodies and culture enthusiasts have plenty to celebrate this summer with not one but two delicious developments. Green's "Sweets of the World" event on June 22 will turn Central Park Community Hall into an international dessert festival, complete with jazz performances and a tasting "passport." Meanwhile, local entrepreneur Karl Warther is cooking up plans to enhance Massillon Road with an expanded Dairy Queen and new sit-down restaurant, bringing fresh dining options to The Boulevard subdivision.
