Mahoning County readies for Veterans Service move

YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County Commissioners have named the new office of the county’s Veterans’ Service Commission for County Commissioner David N. Ludt.

A commissioner since 1999, Ludt served in the Army between 1958 and 1961.

“It’s an honor to serve this country. It’s an honor to be part of America, and it’s an honor to be part of Mahoning County, and I’m proud that I’m an American and I’m proud that I served this country,” Ludt said.

The commission will move from its current second floor quarters in the county’s South Side Annex to first floor offices at the county’s Oakhill Renaissance Place in about three to four weeks, said Pete Triveri, county facilities director.

Construction of the commission’s new quarters is nearing completion, and furniture delivery is awaited, Triveri said Thursday.

Veterans will have designated parking spaces at Oakhill, including those reserved for disabled veterans, he said. “It’s really a lot more convenient than what they have now,” he added.
