Study unveiled to help Warren’s redevelopment plan

WARREN — As a result of losing 30 percent of its population in the past 35 years, the city needs to demolish numerous vacant houses and replace some of them with condominiums.

It also should encourage more dining and entertainment venues downtown, renovate the historic Robins Theater and encourage expansion of the under-served leisure-goods business segment.

These and other suggestions were part of a market study turned over to city officials in recent weeks by Boulevard Strategies, a Columbus consultant firm that is helping with a larger city redevelopment plan.
