Youngstown gets more stimulus money

YOUNGSTOWN — The city is receiving $4 million in federal economic stimulus package money for two sewer projects and improvement work at its waste water treatment facility.

Half of the money is a grant and the other half is a low-interest loan to the city, said Charles Shasho, the city’s deputy director of public works.

The specific terms and conditions of the loan haven’t been finalized.

The city will use the money for a $1.23 million sewer improvement project on Woodland Avenue, and $414,000 for sewer work on Andrews Avenue.

Also, $2.35 million will go toward roof repairs and a cover for a sludge storage tank at the city’s wastewater treatment plant near Poland Avenue.
