Lets say most of which will have 2 people and some even more. There will be upwards of 1,000 people living in this development alone. That should continue to stabilize Mahoning Counties population and make Canfield at around 10,000.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YtownNewsandViews Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 That is the image from the Vindicator. WYTV:Months of planning are complete, and now a group of people looking to redevelop the Smokey-Hollow neighborhood are showing off their ideas to transform the historic part of Youngstown. The Wick Neighbors Board of Trustees says they want to convert Smokey-Hollow into a cultural center, with more than 400 townhouses, condos and other housing, along with shops. The focus will be a three-acre central park, now known as Harrison Field. Executive Director Margaret Murphy says, “Where else can you go and find at your door, Bliss Hall, McDonough or Butler Institute of Art?” The group hopes the $250 million mixed income/mixed use project will be a catalyst for other development and an example of how other urban neighborhoods can be reborn. “This plan is about connections, connections between the Smokey Hollow and the university, connection between Smokey Hollow and the city of Youngstown. It’s a very exciting time.” says Walt Ulbrict with Youngstown State University. The City Planning Commission and Youngstown City Hall must now sign off on the deal so they can take the next step. They hope to start construction in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Council Clerk Arlene Thompson-Bahar held a public hearing Tuesday for the zone change request. The city's planning commission recommended the change June 21.

X Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Given that the Youngstown City Council has essentially shown that they are not getting behind this project to get it done, and would rather stand in the way of it, it is going to be harder to attract qualified proposals. Developers hate to deal with political uncertainty. Proposals are expensive to create, and a developer can only create so many. Why waste your time with a city that says they don't want to give any money for it to happen, and won't even approve the zoning change, which has nothing to do with the funding. If they aren't going to help, the least they could do is step aside and change the zoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By PETER H. MILLIKEN VINDICATOR TRUMBULL STAFF WARREN — The city's first comprehensive downtown revitalization plan recommends continued city safety and health code enforcement to eliminate blight in the residential area on downtown's northern fringe. It also recommends better use of the community reinvestment area — a mechanism for tax abatements — for improvements, explained Anthony Iannucci Jr., director of the Warren Redevelopment and Planning Corp., which coordinated the plan's development. The locally generated master plan is to be unveiled at a public forum at 6 p.m. Monday at the Comfort Inn on Courthouse Square. This is a "very important meeting for the future of this city," Mayor Michael O'Brien said. The plan, titled "Warren G.R.O.W.s," stands for Grassroots Revitalization of Warren and has been a year in the making by more than 70 volunteers. It says the downtown revival effort "has to be comprehensive. In other words, just a design plan is not sufficient," said Iannucci. http://www.vindy.com/content/local_regional/293219252689385.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildingcincinnati Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 From the Warren Tribune Chronicle: Business leaders discuss plan By AMY McCULLOUGH Tribune Chronicle WARREN - The general reaction from city business owners following the fourth downtown revitalization plan since 1980 appears to be an overwhelming "cautious'' enthusiasm. Although some business owners, mostly those involved with the planning process itself, are dropping the cautious and jumping full throttle into the enthusiastic role. For example, Thomas O. Duma, owner of Thom Duma Fine Jewelers and a member of Warren Redevelopment and Planning Corp. Economic Restructuring Committee, repeatedly was referred to as the "cheerleader'' of the group. The excitement in his voice reverberated through the banquet hall in the Comfort Inn Jan. 30 as members of the four committees presented their 15 goals and 74 business strategies that encompass Warren GROWS - Grassroots Revitalization of Warren. But his excitement was catching. Even some of the business owners who once doubted the successful follow-through of any Warren plan, seemed to have walked away from the meeting with renewed hope for downtown. http://www.tribunechronicle.com/news/story/026202006_new04plan06.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Stephenson, music hall director, said he expects an 11 percent increase in revenue in 2005 from the year before, saying the annual report should be complete in about a month. Although in August the music hall was seeing an overall revenue increase of about 55 percent and a 28 percent increase in venue usage, the numbers still are promising for a city trying to stop the cycle of businesses coming and going downtown. "It kind of evened out over time, but business is strong, and we are doing quite a bit better than what's been done in the past,'' Stephenson said, adding that the renovations to the dressing room and bathrooms, which are slated for completion in about a month, should bring in even more business. The municipal auditorium and theater was awarded a $100,000 state capital appropriation with the help of Rep. Randy Law, R-Warren. Gov.

Mayor Jay Williams said about 750 houses and 100 commercial sites are on the city's list of properties that need to be demolished. If City Council approves the allocation, it would be the largest amount Youngstown has dedicated to demolition. The council, which passed a quarterly budget to start the year, plans to approve the 2006 budget by next month.

archetype99 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 http://www.metropolismag.com/cda/story.php?artid=1907 The Incredible Shrinking City Facing steep population decline, Youngstown, Ohio, is repositioning itself. By Belinda Lanks Posted April 17, 2006 When the mills shut down in the 1970s and '80s, the smokestacks and foundries that symbolized steel belt manufacturing cities gave way to factory shells and rust. First unemployed, workers then began to move away for good. Unlike former steel powerhouses, such as Pittsburgh and Allentown, that have tried to attract new industry and grow their way back to prosperity, Youngstown, Ohio, is hitching its future to a strategy of creative shrinkage. Last year Youngstown 2010--a partnership between the city's planning department and Youngstown State University--unveiled a comprehensive plan to reduce nonessential infrastructure, attract new businesses, and rehab deteriorated and abandoned spaces. In fact Youngstown is the first city in the United States to adopt this disarming approach to the problems of population decline. "It's politically and professionally uncomfortable to face the shrinkage of a city or region, even though it may be staring you in the face," says Frank Popper, an urban-planning professor at Rutgers and Princeton universities. "I think it's enormously brave and creative and innovative of Youngstown to be taking on this task." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Are housing prices in Cleveland or Pittsburgh high enough to justify 70 mile commutes? Are gas prices low enough? I wouldn't hitch my wagon to that horse. I'm still unsure of the Youngstown 2010 Plan. Creative shrinkage is an interesting concept, but honestly, when I look at the plan I largely see a plan that is based on a few not very innovative concepts- urban triage- certain neighborhoods are more or less going to be allowed to rot because there aren't the resources to stabilize them, or even properly demolish them. Focus resources on the remaining stable hoods. suburbanization- the plan's "green industry" is really just a euphamism for suburban style light industry, there isn't any sort of innovative (eco) "green" substance to it "green space"- when it doubt, let the land go fallow That isn't to say it is a bad plan, just that I'm not as impressed by it as I am told I should be. I'll give them credit for making tough choices, though. But let's see if they will be carried out when the politicians need to hold firm and say, "none for you, my voters" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildingcincinnati Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 From the Youngstown Business Journal, 5/31/06: Don’t Fast Track YSU Business School Project, Merchants Warn May 31, 2006 7:22 a.m. By Dan O’Brien YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Youngstown State University’s proposal to build a new business school and redevelop 38 acres south of campus is moving along too fast, say some city lawmakers and property owners affected by the plan. “A pause might be necessary,” First Ward Councilman Artis Gillam told the 25 or so who attended a meeting he held Tuesday to discuss the development plan with interested parties. “It’s only fair, the people are a part of this. You can’t stop progress, but you don’t want to shove it down somebody’s throat.” http://www.business-journal.com/FastTrackYSUPlanMerchantsWarn.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildingcincinnati Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 From the 6/3/06 Youngstown Vindicator: Councilman brings new idea for rezoning A councilman no longer favors extending Hazel Street as part of this plan. By DAVID SKOLNICK CITY HALL REPORTER YOUNGSTOWN — Councilman Artis Gillam Sr. is proposing changes to legislation on a plan to link Youngstown State University to downtown. Gillam, D-1st, organized a meeting on Tuesday to discuss the Lincoln-Rayen-Wood development district proposal with YSU officials and business owners in that area. Some business owners oppose the plan largely because it recommends rezoning the 38-acre area to industrial, a designation that complies with the city's 2010 comprehensive land plan. http://www.vindy.com/content/local_regional/297505724115369.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
