The turnout was tremendous with hundreds of ex-employees, current staff, retirees and parents gathering to say goodbye, according to OCSEA Staff Steve Wiles and Sally Meckling who also attended.

The closing of Apple Creek Development Center was covered in a news story by an Akron Beacon Journal reporter.
