YOUNGSTOWN Former Youngstown city Councilman Rufus Hudson, who died Saturday, is being remembered for his passion for the city and its people. He was 64.
“Rufus Hudson was truly a dedicated community activist,” said Mayor Jamael Tito Brown. “He enjoyed and loved serving as councilman for the residents of the East Side. His passion for Youngstown was evidenced in his work and advocacy in everything he was involved with.”
Hudson was elected in 1999 to a four-year term representing the 2nd Ward, which includes most of the city’s East Side, and was re-elected four years later. He couldn’t run for a third term in 2007 because council members at the time had term limits.

YOUNGSTOWN Mahoning Avenue the entire width of Austintown will be repaved in 2021, which is “greatly needed” but will be a “major inconvenience,” Mahoning County Engineer Pat Ginnetti told the county commissioners Wednesday.
The commissioners authorized Ginnetti to go out to bid for the resurfacing, which will cost about $5 million.
Ginnetti said the repaving will improve the county road from the border with Youngstown at Meridian Road all the way to the west border at the Meander Reservoir.
Ginnetti said the project is likely to begin late spring or early summer, but the start will be dependent on the weather and when the asphalt plants open.
