Mahoning commissioners clear way for Jared jewelry store

YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County commissioners this morning approved vacating Church Street in Boardman to allow construction of a nationally known jewelry store.

The street, which ran off Market Street near Southern Park Mall, was vacated for use by Cocca Development Ltd. and Simon Property Group for the project, which will cost more than $1 million.

Church Street, which was installed to serve a small residential area that is now part of the mall parking lot, had to be vacated to enable construction of a Jared Galleria of Jewelry at the former location of Family Christian Store.

The Akron-based Jared has 13 Ohio locations, including one in Cuyahoga Falls.
