City, YNDC Awarded $150K Grant to Renovate Glenwood Building - The Business Journal


The city of Youngstown and Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. were awarded a $150,000 grant at the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ annual meeting over the weekend.

The CommunityWINS grant, accepted by Mayor Jamael Tito Brown, will support “a complete renovation” of 2246 Glenwood Ave. as part of the Youngstown Revitalize Initiative.

The 18,000-square-foot building, now vacant, was previously a distribution center for Rescue Mission of the Mahoning Valley. Plans include subdividing the building into turn-key spaces for small businesses.

“We will focus on one street, one block and one neighborhood at a time,” Brown said in a release. “We will continue to fight to improve the quality of life for all residents in the city of Youngstown.” To read the full story from The Business Journal, click here.
