Effort to buy salt at lower price works
YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown joined Mahoning County and Boardman to purchase road salt in an effort officials for the three entities hoped would lower the price than buying it on their own.
Apparently it worked.
Of the three proposals opened today, the apparent lowest is $63.36 a ton from Morton Salt, a Chicago-based company with a salt mine in Pittman, Ohio.
The two other proposals came from Cargill Deicing Technology of North Olmstead at $68.34 a ton, and North American Salt Co. of Overland Park, Kan., at $79.96 a ton.
