A Valley lawmaker is taking aim at a potentially predatory lending practice — land contracts. 

State Rep. Michele Lepore-Hagan and several community leaders gathered in front of a dilapidated house on the South Side to discuss her new legislation aimed at reining in the abuse of land contracts. 

At the crossroads of the East Side’s main thoroughfares is the Sharonline neighborhood that represents both the one-time vision of a vibrant, growing Youngstown and the reality of the city’s decline. 

Glenwood Avenue in Youngstown will be getting a little greener this coming week.
