The 18 Corridor

City of Fairlawn Officially Brands Market Street as The 18 Corridor. The City of Fairlawn has branded their section of State Route 18, a 2.1 mile stretch along Market Street, officially as The 18 Corridor. With this branding effort, their goal is to attract more visitors and business to the city, and encourage them to take advantage of the many shops, businesses, restaurants and lodging. The campaign is also aiming to encourage tourists to stay in Fairlawn lodging when taking in the many sites in the Greater Cleveland and Greater Akron areas. The city will also use the effort to attract new businesses to locate or relocate to Fairlawn, while also encouraging redevelopment and updating of existing properties. There will be several programs put into motion in the next months and years to help achieve this goal. Planned marketing executions will include the development of traditional and online digital billboards, a social media campaign, several community related events, video development and public relations. Local businesses will also have multiple opportunities to partner with the city throughout the campaign. The City of Fairlawn launched a new website in conjunction with the branding effort, designed to promote local businesses and the programs they will be implementing. The new website can be accessed at www.The18Corridor.com. Businesses in the area will also be able to promote their business on the new website and The 18 Corridor social media platforms. The branding and subsequent marketing campaign was developed and is being managed by The Eisen Agency, a nationally award winning branding, marketing and media agency that works with destination points, municipalities and businesses.

Police were called to a Bath Road home early July 21 after a couple got into a heated argument, a report said. But instead of facing police, the man fled into a nearby wooded area, refusing to take calls from officers. However, he did send texts to his son, asking for help in throwing police off his trail, a report said. Officers left, and the man returned home about 3:30 a.m. Police went back to the house and cited the man — not for the domestic situation, which involved no violence, but for obstructing official business for his flight into the woods. He was taken to a local hotel to spend the rest of the night. Car Trouble Becomes Bigger Trouble An overheated car led to the arrest of a driver July 20. Police stopped to assist a disabled vehicle at Ghent and I-77 about 9:30 p.m. and discovered the driver, who had pulled over because the engine was overheating, was driving with a suspended license. He was cited.  The car was released to a family member to be driven home because, the report noted, it contained perishable items from a picnic.
