Youngstown CityScape recognized 11 projects in the city Thursday at its 15th annual beautification awards ceremony.

Thursday evening, Youngstown CityScape recognized 12 people and organizations for their efforts in restoring parts of the city.

The Mahoning County Land Bank recently secured $500,000 in state funds to demolish houses and commercial buildings next year and is in line for more dollars to support potentially hundreds of additional demolitions in the next several years, officials say.

Youngstown could be close to getting rid of many of the abandoned houses in the city.

On the west side of Youngstown, a former Sparkle Market along Mahoning Avenue has become a beauty products business.
