YOUNGSTOWN — Council members will consider legislation Wednesday to increase the city’s demolition budget by $179,219.17.

The additional dollars are from unused federal Community Development Block Grant money and profits the city made on the sale of two houses it rehabilitated under another federal program.

Council members decided at an April 11 community development agency committee meeting to use at least $129,161 to demolish vacant structures this year.
