YOUNGSTOWN — The Chevrolet Centre is now Covelli Centre.

The city and center officials announced the new name this morning and introduced the man behind the naming partnership.

Sam Covelli, president and chief executive officer of Covelli Enterprises, signed a three-year contract and will pay $120,000 annually for the naming rights.

Eric Ryan, the center’s executive director, said all signs and logo should be changed within 30 to 45 days.

“By June 1, we’re hoping to be changed over,” he said.
