Challenging City Council Ordinances to Sell
White Pond Wetlands
LEAD for Pollinators and advocates to Save White Pond filed a challenge in the Court of Common Pleas, Jan. 23, 2023, to the Akron City Council vote of Dec. 12, 2022 which approved the sale of the White Pond Wetlands for rental housing development. LEAD for Pollinators and advocates of SAVE WHITE POND are represented by Mendenhall Law Group.
LEAD for Pollinators and the SAVE WHITE POND neighbors do not support the housing development project on White Pond wetlands. This land on White Pond Dr. should remain in its natural state to continue to provide free ecological service to this neighborhood, and the greater Akron and Summit County community for its valuable contribution to community health, mosquito control, pest control, and flood control.
