Fed stimulus money pays for decorative lighting on Warren street

WARREN — Installation of decorative lighting on the west side of Mahoning Avenue between High and Summit streets will make the historic area known as Millionaire’s Row near city hall more appealing to pedestrians, city officials say.

Using $250,000 in federal-stimulus money, the city is about to award a $195,000 contract to Cornerstone Electric of Salem to install the lights every 100 feet in the green space with trees between the sidewalk and road. The area is a little less than a half-mile long.
