Our satellite station is <br />3,800 sq. ft. compared to Westlake at 7,000 and Strongsville <br />at between 5,000 and 7,600. <br />Olmsted Township <br />Tonight ! am introducing legislation to take the annexation <br />proposal off the November ballot.

While Township residents <br />want to maintain their rural atmosphere and reduce taxation, <br /> <br />
