Youngstown will pave parts of six streets

YOUNGSTOWN — A $761,961.30 project will result in six streets being paved, the replacement of three sewers and other improvements.

The city’s board of control awarded the contract for the work today to Shelly & Sands Inc., a Zanesville-based company with a local office in Girard.

Shelly & Sands had the least expensive proposal among the six companies vying for the work.

The project’s cost estimate was $1 million, said Charles Shasho, the city’s deputy director of public works.

The city is receiving 69 percent of the project’s cost from an Ohio Public Works Commission grant.

Most of the city’s portion of the project, $236,208, will come from its wastewater budget and its vehicle license fee fund, Shasho said.

The work is to start at the end of April and take up to 120 days to finish, he said.
