Youngstown, Liberty Host Belmont Avenue Corridor Open House Tonight

Community input will guide a revitalization plan for the corridor.

Overview

  • The open house begins at 6 p.m. on Oct. 30 at the Jewish Community Center of Youngstown, 505 Gypsy Lane.
  • The session gathers feedback for the Belmont Avenue Corridor Study within the Build Better Belmont Initiative.
  • The study covers State Route 193 from downtown Youngstown at West Federal Street north to the Interstate 80 interchange and beyond.
  • Coalition priorities include public engagement, design and development standards, and placemaking such as streetscape upgrades, cleanups, and vacancy reduction.
  • Belmont Avenue is a key route to Mercy Health and the regional airport, and past safety work flagged 39 crashes in three years at Belmont and Churchill Hubbard Road.
