City officials to discuss Bottom Dollar proposal Tuesday

YOUNGSTOWN — City council’s housing and economic development committee will meet at 5 p.m. Tuesday on the 6th floor of city hall to discuss a proposal from a health-care provider to purchase the former Bottom Dollar supermarket on the South Side.

The committee will discuss plans for ONE Health Ohio – which provides medical, dental and behavioral health services with a focus on lower-income people – to buy the former grocery store on Glenwood Avenue. The store closed in January 2015, and the city unsuccessfully tried to find another supermarket to locate there. If ONE Health Ohio opens a facility there, it would include a food-distribution component.
