Medina County Courthouse debate continues as citizens group takes concerns to state level Alyssa Alfano, cleveland.com
MEDINA, Ohio The group hoping to preserve the Medina County Courthouse and block a planned renovation has filed an action with the Ohio Supreme Court to stop the city from acting “in violation of the courthouse initiative that was overwhelmingly passed by the voters last November,” according to a press release.
“Issue 7 that was passed by the voters last November requires that before the city can spend money on the joint city/county courthouse project, such expenditures need to be approved by a majority of all the people that are eligible to vote in the city of Medina,” said Pat Walker, a member of the Save Your Courthouse Committee.

MEDINA, Ohio Mayor Dennis Hanwell provided City Council and the community with an update about the city’s courthouse project during Monday’s Finance Committee meeting (Jan. 25).
Hanwell had earlier spoken with Medina County Commissioner Bill Hutson, County Administrator Scott Miller and Medina Municipal Court Judge Gary Werner about the possibility of moving the municipal court into the 1969 building on the east side of Public Square.
“When I met with Judge Werner individually and asked if he would be willing to consider if the 1969 building could be renovated on the square moving the Municipal Court operation over there, there were three qualifications that he said would need to be met for him to agree to it,” Hanwell said.
