When you go to a playground, you often expect to see man-made material such as slides, swing sets and jungle gyms, but one citizen-driven organization is looking to give Youngstown more natural equipment.
A project being proposed by Councilman Julius Oliver that would support entrepreneurs and the city’s youth is “designed to incubate community,” the First Ward councilman said.
“Located halfway between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, Youngstown is still reflective of the steel industry’s collapse in the 1970s. But this Rust Belt city is in the midst of a cultural and economic renaissance that combines rich historical tradition with the zeal of a new generation,” U.S. News & World Report says.
A Youngstown area nonprofit based around restoring homes and building communities has received a $10,000 award from Dominion Energy, according to a release.
The Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation is proud to announce new partnerships with 11 nonprofit organizations that have made significant contributions to communities across Ohio.
