YOUNGSTOWN Over the next several years, Mahoning County will put $40 million worth of effort into the Western Reserve corridor to improve traffic flow and aid economic growth.
During the annual “Good Morning, Mahoning County” session with the Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber on Friday, county engineer Pat Ginnetti said orange barrels associated with the various projects should be looked at in a positive way.
“When you see orange barrels, don’t look at it as a negative. That means growth,” he said, referring to business that is anticipated to come to the area once traffic is improved.
He didn’t shy away from the fact it will be frustrating as roads are widened and sewer lines are installed.
