YOUNGSTOWN Eight months after the exterior renovation of Thomas D. Lambros Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse at Market and Front streets began, it is closing in on completion.
Recently, fencing near the front entrance to the building was removed after a handicapped-accessible stairway and decorative pavers were installed on the plaza in front of the building.
