Work set at airport

VIENNA

The Western Reserve Port Authority will move forward with planned expansion of the snow-removal equipment building, construct a taxiway and improve airstrip markings with some of its $1 million annual Federal Aviation Administration allocation.

The airport qualifies for $1 million each year in Airport Improvement Funds by meeting a minimum number of passengers flying out of the airport. The port-authority board approved the expenditure of $637,868 of the $1 million at a meeting last week.

The taxiway will be built on the east side of the airport closest to state Route 193 and will help with the port authority’s goal of expanding business through future construction of additional aircraft hangars, said Dan Dickten, director of aviation.

Enticement reported

YOUNGSTOWN

Police are looking for a man driving a smaller black Ford pickup truck with “zig-zag” markings on the side after a 10-year-old boy told authorities the man tried to entice him into getting into the vehicle.

The boy told police he was walking along Volney Road after getting off the school bus Monday when the man pulled alongside him and asked him to get into the truck. The boy said he began to walk a little faster, but the man pulled alongside him again and asked him to get into the truck. The boy said the man followed him all the way to his home then sped off.
