Trustees keep Hinckley school zoning as residential
Hinckley Township trustees voted to not rezone the former Hinckley Elementary School from residential to Hinckley Town Center District. Medina County Planning Commission favored rezoning, while the township zoning commission opposed it, noting no current plans for the property. School board liaison Chris Wolny urged keeping the building to lower taxes, and a deed restriction against future dollar stores was discussed before the vote.
