Historic Akron Soap Company building converted into 53 new apartments
An 1893 soap factory that later made cereal and paint, and an attached 1919 warehouse, have been transformed into 53 apartments close to downtown Akron. The $14 million soap factory project represents the first time that Oriana House, a community corrections and behavioral health agency, has moved into market-rate housing. The decision to do so came after the group acquired the old factory at 243 Furnace St., about a half mile northeast of Luigi’s and less than a mile from downtown.

Hudson unveils concept for housing, hotel and more at Clinton Crossing
Hudson officials who viewed preliminary plans for Clinton Crossing commended plans, although the number of townhomes and the potential for increased traffic in the downtown area raised concerns. This initial concept is the result of a series of public meetings conducted by the city, Thomas Sheridan, Hudson's city manager, said at the city planning commission's Nov. 9 meeting, where plans were shared. Rather than having a developer come up with the plans, Hudson residents were asked to contribute their ideas. Clinton Crossing, formerly called Downtown Phase II , is a 21-acre city-owned property located along Morse Road, Owen Brown Street and Clinton Street. The site was the former location of the Hudson Schools bus garage, the city's Public Works facility, the city salt dome, a building which had a theater space and an Italian restaurant, and the Windstream building. Nick Sugar, the city planner, said Hudson has invested about $11 million to date in acquiring and preparing the Clinton Crossing property. The property was obtained "with the expectation that future development would incorporate some taxable uses to help recover this investment," according to city documents. What is being proposed? The initial concept includes: 33 single-family detached homes ranging from 1,600
