Warren planning corporation buys 4.9 acres

WARREN

The Warren Redevelopment and Planning Corporation on Thursday announced a purchase of 4.9 acres on West Market Street along the Mahoning River for future development.

“It’s a key area and it’s a blank slate,” said Tony Iannucci, director of WRAP. “It’s 4.9 acres of nothing. Our hope is that we can develop some market-rate housing, whether it be condos or apartments and have it be more of a commercial-mixed setting.”

The space, formerly occupied by Martin Chevrolet, cost $375,000.
