Youngstown Board of Control approves contract for downtown amphitheater design

YOUNGSTOWN — The city’s board of control signed a $141,000 contract to have a Columbus architectural firm design plans for an amphitheater at the Covelli Centre, a park along the Mahoning River, and for ways to tie downtown and Mill Creek MetroParks to Youngstown State University.

The board signed the deal today with MKSK, which is partnering with MS Consultants of Youngstown and FTL Design Engineering Studio of New York City.

“This will be a game-changer for the aesthetics of downtown, YSU, and Mill Creek Park,” said city Finance Director David Bozanich, a board of control member.
