New hotel in the works on Executive Parkway in Toledo
A new hotel, Home2 Suites, is being proposed on Executive Parkway. A major site plan review for the new 109-room hotel has been submitted to the Toledo Plan Commission for its Sept. 12 meeting. The site is zoned multi-family residential and office commercial. Hotels are permitted in office commercial zoning districts but not in multi-family residential zoning districts. The plan commission staff has recommended the hotel site be rezoned to office commercial. The applicant, Jon Roumaya, of Toledo, has also submitted companion cases to rezone part of the site to regional commercial to permit potential future development on the eastern part of the parcel next to the proposed hotel. He intends to split the western 67.64 feet of the parcel off and combine it with the adjacent parcel to create the hotel development site. The remainder of the parcel would become open to future development.

Northwood officially accepts $939,819 grant to hire 3 firefighters, discusses future funding
Northwood leaders feel fortunate to get a $939,819 federal grant to fund the employment of three firefighters/paramedics, but are also concerned about how to pay for the new workers after the money runs out. At Thursday’s meeting, council officially accepted a Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant, which was announced last month. “It was pretty phenomenal that we got it,” said Fire Chief Joel Whitmore. “We were fortunate enough to be one of the five departments in the country to get it.” The SAFER grants were created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations to help them increase or maintain the number of trained, front-line firefighters available in their communities.
Rolling On: Local rock band makes quarterfinals in Rolling Stone contest
Local act the JT Hayden Band recently nearly found themselves in the pages of Rolling Stone. And who knows, they still might someday. The rock-country quartet (as opposed to country-rock), led by vocalist and guitarist JT Hayden, recently qualified for the quarterfinals in the Rolling Stone-sponsored contest America’s Next Top Hitmaker, where they were competing with hundreds of other bands across the nation. “The grand prize winner gets $10,000, gets to play at a music festival in Austin, Texas, does a photo shoot, and they put you in Rolling Stone magazine,” said Hayden in an interview. “We’re in the top [ten] percent of the people who make it that far. So throughout the country, out of 5,000 bands, we’re in the top 500. That’s a lot.”
