Dann to announce creation of Youngstown office

YOUNGSTOWN -- Attorney General Marc Dann of Liberty is to announce Monday the creation of a Youngstown regional office.
An e-mail sent by Dann's office reads, "The new branch office will create good-paying jobs in Youngstown while boosting the level of service for residents of the entire region."
The official announcement is set for 9 a.m. Monday in the main concourse of the Youngstown-owned 20 Federal Place, presumably the location of the new branch office.
Dann, a Democrat, has said he planned to expand the attorney general office's presence in the Mahoning Valley and had asked the mayors of Youngstown and Warren to submit proposals to open an office in either of the cities' downtowns.
He has said he wanted to add 10 to 20 attorney general employees in the Valley during the first two years of his administration.
There are about 20 employees under the jurisdiction of the attorney general, most of them are with the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, at a Boardman office. When the lease on that building expires in June, Dann will move that office to Youngstown.
