South Side residents say they’re upset and frustrated about the condition of their neighborhoods and don’t believe the city is doing enough to help resolve the problems.

More than 50 residents packed the East Side Library March 25th for the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp.’s meeting. Topics including crime, drugs, vacant properties and a lack of city support were among the concerns raised by residents.

Residents of Youngstown’s 7th Ward attended the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp.’s meeting March 20.

A woman who lives in the Lincoln Knolls section of the East Side spent several years investing some of her money into maintaining a vacant parcel next door to her with the intention of buying the lot.

Many people who are familiar with neighborhoods that make up the city’s 7th Ward likely will tell you that one defining feature is diverse demographics — in everything from population trends to home vacancies.
