Sewer project to benefit group that helps disabled

COITSVILLE — A small expansion of a sanitary-sewer line could mean the beginning of a large amount of economic development in an unincorporated section of U.S. Route 422, Mahoning County commissioners and a few elected officials say.

“One of the first things new businesses look for are sewer and waterlines. That makes it more palatable for businesses to set up in a corridor,” Commissioner Anthony T. Traficanti said during today’s groundbreaking ceremony at Iron and String Life Enhancement’s Purple Cat to usher in the McCartney Road Sanitary Sewer Extension Improvement project.

The 2,500-foot line will begin at the Purple Cat, 4738 McCartney Road (Route 422), and connect to a sewer line to the west, noted county Engineer Patrick T. Ginnetti.

The work should take a few months, Ginnetti said.

Rudzik Excavating Inc. of Struthers was awarded the contract for the $599,040 project.
