'Province at Kent' Apartment Plans Approved
Site plan approval for 596-bed complex on South Lincoln Street comes with 9 conditions
It took almost two hours, but plans for "The Province at Kent" 596-bed student apartment complex on South Lincoln Street were approved tonight by the Kent Planning Commission.
Approval of the site plan represents the last public obstacle for the project, which has been the subject of more than a dozen public meetings in the past 10 months.
Construction is expected to start in July with the project open in time for the fall 2012 semester at nearby Kent State University.
