If the Western Reserve Land Conservancy wins with its bid to buy Akron s Theiss Road property, the site will likely become part of nearby Hampton Hills Metro Park.
Nearly 45 acres that the city of Akron owns and has up for bid on Theiss Road in the Merriman Valley could become part of nearby Hampton Hills Metro Park if the Western Reserve Land Conservancy s (WRLC) new bid to purchase the site wins the day.
The conservancy, which submitted a revised bid of $410,000 for the land on March 30, told the city that if the group is allowed to purchase the property it intends to turn the site over to Summit Metro Parks.
