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.

St. Louis’ population has dropped by more than half over the past seven decades, leaving thousands of lots of vacant land dotting the landscape, especially on the city’s north side.

The city is considering a third alternative to the two formal proposals submitted for the former Bottom Dollar Food building on Glenwood Avenue.

Business leaders, quasi-government organizations, city administrators, elected officials, institutions such as Youngstown State University, neighborhood groups – even a long-ago president of the United States — all share in the credit of rebuilding the appeal and image of the city.
