Three years after the release of the U.S. 422 Corridor Redevelopment Plan,
Girard and Youngstown are making progress to transform the industrial corridor
that links them. 

An Army National Guard unit from Brook Park will start
demolishing 28 vacant houses, mostly on the South Side, today.

Two of the three members of the city’s Board of Control
today approved a liability waiver related to a demolition project by the Ohio
National Guard, with the third member – Finance Director David Bozanich —
absent.

It’s the middle of the afternoon and the
Common Wealth Kitchen Incubator is a hive of activity: Chefs dice produce, cooks
prepare barbecue and bakers set bread and pastries out ready for that day’s
farmers market.

The city of Youngstown has a new weapon in its arsenal to
combat urban blight.
