Struthers downtown improving, one project at a time

STRUTHERS

Project by project, the city is literally brightening up its downtown.

City officials say it’s likely that by the end of next month, five new streetlights will line the south side of State Street, stretching from state Route 616 to Poland Avenue.

“They’ll be in addition to the existing lighting downtown,” said Struthers Mayor Terry Stocker. “They’ll enhance what we already have.”

The lights are being funded by approximately $70,000 from the Ohio Development Services Agency’s Community Development Block Grant program, which originally was intended for a different use.
