Mahoning Co. One-Stop to open satellite office at Oakhill Renaissance Place

YOUNGSTOWN — Oakhill Renaissance Place will become more of the one-stop shop envisioned by the Mahoning County commissioners when they bought Oakhill four years ago.

At 2 p.m. Monday, Mahoning County One-Stop will have a formal grand opening for its 3,660-square-foot, full-time satellite office in Oakhill’s basement.

The new office will assist people with job training, job searches and résumé-writing and offer classes for those completing general equivalency diplomas.

“I fought very hard for Oakhill to make it a true one-stop shop,” said Anthony T. Traficanti, chairman of the commissioners.

“It makes it more accessible for those looking for employment in the inner city,” he said of the Mahoning-Columbiana Training Association.

The agreement between MCTA, which is One-Stop’s sponsor, and the county’s Department of Job and Family Services, which establishes the new One Stop office at Oakhill, is on the county commissioners’ meeting agenda for their approval at 10 a.m. Thursday.
