This rendering shows what the proposed chimney swift tower will look like when built on Haymaker Parkway. The tower will provide a shelter for the birds that have lost many of their nesting places.
Kent residents should expect more permanent neighbors this spring or summer: chimney swifts.
While the birds are not new to the city, a designated shelter for them will be, since Kent’s city council approved a chimney-swift tower to be built sometime in the summer.
The sanctuary will be located on the Hike and Bike Trail on Haymaker Parkway, in between Kent State’s campus and the police station.
