Mill Creek, township set Aug. 16 joint event

SMITH — In an effort to reach out to taxpayers in Mahoning County’s western communities, Mill Creek Park plans a joint event with the township.

David Imbrogno, executive director of Mill Creek MetroParks, said one of his goals when he began the job was to engage people in the county’s western areas in park activities.

“We don’t have a physical presence in the western part of the county,” he said. “But we figured if we can’t have a physical presence, at least we can have a programmatic presence.”

A community day begins at 4 p.m. Aug. 16 with nature hikes and displays.
