neighborhood stabilization

The Youngstown 2010 Plan is based on a new vision accepting the reality Youngstown is a smaller city that will stabilize at 80,000 people. The City of Youngstown and Youngstown State University coordinated this planning process with help from nearly 200 volunteers, neighborhood organizations and businesses. Organizers for the plan prodded residents to turn out for a large public meeting to review the initial city plan vision using every marketing tool they could think of: billboards, public service announcements, and window stickers.
