The two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplexes at 3013, 3021 and 3031 Glenwood will be the first YNDC has constructed with solar panels. Ian Beniston, YNDC executive director, said that feature will enable tenants in the all-electric housing units to have no power bills during most months. The Glenwood Corridor development is the latest in a string of affordable housing construction in the city that is helping to revitalize and repopulate Youngstown. We salute YNDC and hope that its momentum just keeps on building.
