Downtown Vision & Action Plan
The Issue
• Trash overflow in certain areas. Other areas have no receptacles. Some receptacles are damaged. Design is inconsistent.
• Aggressive development scheduled for the next 2 years which will increase traffic flow (3 apartment buildings, restaurant, hotel, VXI & YBI expansions, outdoor amphitheater).
• City of Youngstown Design Review Committee does not have streetscape guidelines.

Downtown Vision & Action Plan
The Strategy
• Determine what receptacles exist and where they can be repositioned.
• Determine what receptacles need to be eliminated and/or replaced or improved.
• Identify areas where additional receptacles will be needed moving forward.
• Develop streetscape catalogue for DRC consideration.

Downtown Vision & Action Plan
The Issue
• There is a renewed interested in the downtown area as many plans, projects and events continue to be organized.
• Historical and architecture tours are offered semi-regularly but there are no tours that discuss current and future plans, projects and events exclusively or welcome new or prospective individuals to the downtown area.
