With the amount of abandoned buildings in Youngstown, many ask why not just tear them down.

The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. has created a plan to address the four key priorities residents have about the city.

Officials at the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. outlined the city’s development plans at a meeting Nov. 12 in the community room at the Covelli Centre. 

It is no secret Youngstown has been losing population.

No roosters crow at the break of dawn here. No sounds of livestock in the distance. And, you’ll not find Katie and Tom Phibbs’ lettuce farm nestled among rolling pastures and country roads that stretch for miles.
