Jon Howell wants to show his appreciation for the city where he once lived by painting the town.

Fresh Coast Capital has announced that Youngstown is one of eight U.S. cities to share in a $1 million award designed to put vacant land in old industrial cities to better use.

Youngstown is among six cities nationwide working with a Chicago-based investment fund in a program designed to reclaim and repurpose vacant land.

A $1 million private investment fund will be used to beautify parks in Youngstown and other urban areas across the country.
