Fresh Coast Capital has announced that Youngstown is one of eight U.S. cities to share in a $1 million award designed to put vacant land in old industrial cities to better use.

Youngstown is among six cities nationwide working with a Chicago-based investment fund in a program designed to reclaim and repurpose vacant land.

A $1 million private investment fund will be used to beautify parks in Youngstown and other urban areas across the country.

St. Louis’ population has dropped by more than half over the past seven decades, leaving thousands of lots of vacant land dotting the landscape, especially on the city’s north side.

The city is considering a third alternative to the two formal proposals submitted for the former Bottom Dollar Food building on Glenwood Avenue.
