FAYETTE TOWNSHIP — A new strip mall is being planned for Sandusky Road, which will feature possible food establishments.

Dr. Bill Dingus, executive director of the Lawrence County Economic Development Commission, said that the Lawrence County Commission was asked to vacate the street for the development.

The strip mall will be located on the east side of the street, between U.S. 52 and the river, Fayette Township trustee Mike Finley said.

“This a great thing for Fayette Township and Lawrence County,” he said. “And, because of the big increase in tax revenue, we’ll be able to have more services and everything else.”

Dingus said tenants for the mall have not been announced yet.
