SitemapIt’s time to move to Phase 2 of an affordable housing program in Youngstown with a sight not often seen in the city — new homes under construction.
On Thursday morning, a groundbreaking was held to build three more duplexes along Glenwood Avenue. It’s the same spot two duplexes were built in 2024. They cost about $425,000 each to build. “It just energizes you. You see the movement forward, you see more people moving in and as you see this taking place on Glenwood and other areas, it always goes into the rest of the neighborhood as well and it’s just building up the community,” said Sixth Ward City Councilwoman Anita Davis.
This time around, all three will have solar panels. It’s part of an ongoing effort by the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation and project partners to revitalize the South Side corridor.
