Organizations from both Mahoning and Trumbull Counties came together for a summit on greenspace at the Mill Creek Metroparks Farms on Thursday.

A major makeover is taking another step forward on Youngstown’s South Side. Wednesday morning, the ground was broken on phase two of the Bernard Street Project.

The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) has been awarded a $25,000 check from Premier Bank on Wednesday.
