A zoning hearing has been scheduled for Tues., Dec. 1 at 7:00 p.m. at the Boardman Township Government Center for a proposed drug treatment center on Boardman-Canfield Rd., near several residential streets, including Harrington Ave., Mill Creek Blvd., Ron Joy Place and Pinewood Dr.; and across the street from East and West Parkside Drives.
      According to documents filed with the Boardman Zoning Department, the in-patient facility for addiction treatment would be located at 920 and 960 Boardman-Canfield Rd. and operated by New Day Recovery LLC that was formed in Aug., 2015.
      The permit is being sought by Felix Savon, owner of Savon Enterprises LLC, of 830 Boardman-Canfield Rd.; and Tom Ivany and Kim DiPillo, of New Day Recovery.
      “We want to open a 16-bed, sub-acute detox facility,” Savon said in documents filed with the Zoning Office.
      A hearing on the matter was held on Tues., Oct. 27, when the Boardnman Zoning Board of Appeals turned down the request.
      Savon said the buildings the drug treatment center would occupy have been vacant for over a year.
      According to Savon, clients “will be provided with ‘medication’ to alleviate their discomfort and make them as comfortable as possible.”
