80-bed recovery center closes at Massillon health hub after 8 months

MASSILLON – A drug and alcohol recovery center operated by Ohio Valley Physicians Health has closed after about nine months inside a revamped health hub. The 80-bed addiction recovery facility opened in February at the Massillon Community Health & Innovation Center , 870 Amherst Road NE, which is the former site of Affinity Medical Center. It shut its doors on Oct. 16 due to apparent medical reimbursement shortfalls. Chris Zimmerman, chief executive officer of Massillon Community Health, said he's working on "a viable replacement" to occupy the former recovery center's space, adding that the process has been encouraging. A phone message left with a representative from OVP on Oct. 28 was not immediately returned. The recovery center was expected to bring in dozens of long-term jobs to Massillon, said Jackie Rebman, director of inpatient behavioral health for OVP, told The Independent in late February. Between $500,000 and $1 million of renovations had been made in preparation for the two-floor, rehab center in early 2026. Biz moves: Massillon residents voice concerns about new data center near school Services offered at the facility included inpatient detox and care, medication for substance disorders; mental health treatment; group, couples and family therapy; overnight care

New income tax in Ravenna fails, Kent backs tax change

Voters are considering an increased income tax in Ravenna, a change to Kent's existing income tax, two countywide tax issues, an issue that would repeal zoning in Paris Township, and a variety of other ballot issues throughout the county. Issue 15 is a 0.25% income tax that would fund new facilities to replace the Ravenna police station at South Park Way and Spruce Avenue, as well as the neighboring fire station and city hall. According to complete but unofficial results from the Portage County Board of Elections, the issue failed 2,504 to 1,266. The building is estimated to cost $25 million, which also is the amount that would have been generated over the 30-year lifespan of the tax issue. The tax was the same as the May issue that went before voters. It failed on the primary ballot. Issue 16 would change a tax approved in 2013 to build Kent's police station into a permanent tax for additional purposes. The 0.25% income tax generates around $2 million per year. The levy was supposed to sunset in 2038 after the building debt was scheduled to be paid off. However, the city saw higher-than-expected job and income tax growth, which will allow
