Building guide

A “Guide to the Regulatory Permitting Process,” developed by the Mahoning County District Board of Health in 1997, has been updated with funding provided by the Public Health Informatics Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The guide assists home builders in Mahoning County townships, villages and the cities of Campbell, Canfield and Struthers to negotiate the regulatory process.

The guide can be found on the Mahoning County District Board of Health’s website at www.mahoninghealth.org. Limited supplies of the guides are available at the zoning offices throughout the county.

Room name needed

WARREN

The Raymond John Wean Foundation is seeking suggestions to name the community meeting room that will be part of its new home on Warren’s Courthouse Square. Residents may enter as many names as they wish to be entered in a drawing to win a $50 gift card from the Mocha House restaurant.

The ground-floor community meeting room will hold up to 120 people for conferences, meetings and events, and will have a licensed catering kitchen, and is a large, open space allowing for numerous seating and event configurations, classroom-style, and conference set-up with audio-visual and sound equipment available.

The Wean Foundation envisions the meeting room being used by the Foundation, nonprofit and civic groups, schools and others to share information, develop solutions and plans to address community issues, and build a stronger civic life in the Mahoning Valley.

Send naming ideas to the “Name That Room” contest, care of ccrooks@rjweanfdn.org by Dec. 9, 2011, and include name and contact information so the winner can be notified.
