Youngstown
The Mahoning County Convention and Visitors Bureau has launched its redesigned website, youngstownlive.com.
The website, which is also accessible by mobile devices, has tabs for events, attractions for visitors, lodging and restaurants.
The highlight of the website is a short promotional video for Youngstown and Mahoning County featuring several celebrities who hail from the area: actor Ed O’Neill, former boxing champion Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, fashion designer Nanette Lepore, and Youngstown State University President Jim Tressel and his wife, Ellen Tressel. A full-length video highlighting Mahoning County attractions will be added to the site soon.
The new website also provides social media integration and direct links to the CVB’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube pages, which can be followed @YoungstownLive. Visitors to the site can also download a Visitors Guide, sign up for a monthly e-newsletter, and contact the CVB.
