Brian Angelilli, owner of the Legal Arts Building, announced Tuesday he plans to reopen the iconic downtown Youngstown structure. The adjacent parking deck is expected to reopen next month.
YOUNGSTOWN The owner of the Legal Arts Building is making exterior improvements to the downtown structure with plans to reopen it.
Brian Angelilli, who purchased the building in October 2019, said Tuesday that he wants to get the parking deck open by next month, and to put a breakfast-lunch business on the ground floor.
He mentioned Dunkin’ Donuts or a “mom-and-pop” restaurant at the site as there’s “a lot of foot traffic” at the downtown location at 101 Market St. that makes it a good spot for such a business.
YOUNGSTOWN Political corruption in the Mahoning Valley never seems to go away, and this year saw former Youngstown Finance Director David Bozanich, ex-Mayor Charles Sammarone and downtown developer Dominic Marchionda plead guilty to felony charges.
Rather than go to trial on the 101 counts in an Aug. 30, 2018, indictment, the three took deals with Bozanich being the only one sentenced to prison for his crimes.
This story ranks seventh in this newspaper’s Top 10 stories of the year.
Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Maureen Sweeney sentenced Bozanich Sept. 3 to one year in state prison for four crimes he committed as part of the city government corruption investigation. He also received three years of probation.
