STEUBENVILLE Franciscan University of Steubenville is considering changing its campus access, contingent on acquiring a 10-foot strip of land next to Super 8 as well as another small parcel on Franklin Avenue near Capri Sausage Shop and convincing the city to vacate Franciscan Way West.

STEUBENVILLE A Miracle Field is back on the front-burner in Steubenville, though if it happens it’s going to look different than its sponsors originally envisioned.
For starters, Urban Frontier has scrapped plans to use the North End field not because of the fierce opposition it generated at a public meeting earlier this year, but because site elevation variations “would have required major earth-moving, it would have eaten up most of the budget,” Urban Frontier’s Tom Way said.
