Boardman police have closed the case of a missing township woman who was found unharmed in Texas.

Cassidy was expected to return to Ohio on Thursday, police said.

Contract awarded

YOUNGSTOWN

Mahoning County commissioners have awarded a $15,840 contract to All Excavating Inc. of Boardman, for demolition of a large, vacant duplex in deteriorated condition at 180 to 190 Kendall St. in Campbell.

The demolition is being paid for by the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program, for which funding ends March 1, 2013, in a government austerity effort.

The commissioners also voted Thursday to advertise for bids for demolition of two single-family homes, one each in Struthers and Smith Township, under the same program.
