HOWLAND The Ohio Department of Transportation is seeking public input on a planned intersection improvement project at state Route 46 and Warren-Sharon Road, which is known as Howland Corners.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, public meetings that would usually be held in person for ODOT officials to receive public input from residents are being done online through a virtual open house where a pre-recorded presentation and all materials regarding the project are available at http://www.publicinput.com/TRU109520.
“This is a big project, not only for Howland Township, but Trumbull County as well. It will make traveling at the intersection safer going north, south, east and west,” said Howland Township Administrator Darlene St. George.
