The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation is planning on fully restoring the marquee and façade at the historic Foster Theater on Youngstown’s south side.
The city of Youngstown has been looking for ways to get people to move back into the city and now, if they build new, they won’t have to pay property taxes for 15 years.
One of the people most excited by news that the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. has purchased the closed Foster Theatre on Glenwood Avenue is Steven “Shags” Shagrin of Walnut Creek, Calif.
