Council OKs purchase of Mill Creek lot - The Vindicator


Youngstown council agreed to permit the city to purchase a property for $1 from Mill Creek MetroParks and turn it over to the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. for renovation.

Council voted 7-0 Wednesday to obtain the title to 900 Old Furnace Road, which was the longtime home of the Mill Creek superintendent until about 20 years ago.

YNDC plans to renovate the property, Tiffany Sokol, its housing director, said.

“We’re still looking to see the best use,” she said. “We want to do right by the community and we’re taking our time with the property.”

The park system has used the property for storage and office space in the past.
