Youngstown school board approves money to raze additional vacant school buildings

YOUNGSTOWN — Another vacant Youngstown city school building will soon be razed, and the school board learned it may have enough money to tear down two more.

The board has voted to tear down the John White building on Lyden Avenue on the East Side, agreeing to pay Siegel Excavating of Edinburg, Pa., $35,900 to do the job.

Siegel was the lowest of 13 bidders on the contract (Dore & Associates of Bay City, MI., was the highest at $94,400) and came in well below the engineering estimate of $90,000, said Steve Ludwinski, senior project manager for Heery International Inc., the district’s construction project manager.
