If you’re at all familiar with Ohio, you already know that many cities that flourished with people (and manufacturing jobs) have been watching their populations dwindle.
Youngstown is an Ohio border town.
With the dwindling populations come the problems associated with a decaying community. Empty, unkempt houses – vacant commercial buildings and blight. This city that was once home to more than
150,000 has a population of around 80,000.
Youngstown, an Ohio-Pennsylvania border town has decided to address this with a whole new approach. City officials are tearing down what’s ugly and turn it into “green” spaces. More than 1,000
structures have already been destroyed in the Plan 2010 initiative.
