City Council

The subsidized development of three new homes highlights a $725,000 project under way in the Glenwood Corridor with the support of the City’s American Rescue Plan funds.

Managed by the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp., this effort aims to encourage additional investment and home ownership near the north end of Glenwood Avenue, across the street from the Volney Rogers field and tennis courts.

Some $600,000 will subsidize the development of three new homes on Bernard Street, which runs east off Glenwood and has been closed by barricades for several years.

A mobile food service based in Youngstown is expanding with the support of American Rescue Plan funds targeted to the City’s 1st Ward.

Aisle One Mobile Market, opened last year by South Side resident Kimberly Johnson, received $50,000 to cover part of the cost of a new truck. The investment is among several sponsored by 1st Ward Councilman Julius Oliver.

Aisle One “is like a bodega on wheels,” Johnson said, serving fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, breads, baked goods, and refrigerated items.
