Mahoning commissioner to advertise for bids for North Bailey Road work

YOUNGSTOWN

The Mahoning County commissioners will advertise for bids for the repaving of North Bailey Road in Jackson Township from Mahoning Avenue to the Mahoning-Trumbull County line, which is estimated to cost about $1 million.

That project, which will repave 2.5 miles of roadway, will be federally funded with a 10 percent local share.

That road is important for the area’s business and industry, said Commissioner Carol Rimedio-Righetti.

That section of Bailey Road has an interchange with Interstate 76 and leads to the General Motors Lordstown plant and the Lordstown Ohio Turnpike interchange.

The commissioners also entered into a $7,521 agreement with Record Systems of Boardman for reconfiguration of a county courthouse basement file room for the clerk of courts, and accepted $59,930 in Ohio Department of Public Safety grant funds for the sheriff’s department for traffic and impaired-driving law enforcement.
