How much revenue are they getting now from the vacant land? How much more will that property value increase and other properties around it increase?
How many new residents of the city will this create... tax paying, hard working citizens.. educated, young citizens... that will stay here and work to rebuild this community.
I can tell by your comments that you don't attend YSU, you have never walked the campus and you have no idea even what you are talking about.
There really ins't an arguement you can make against this development deal. New state of the art housing being built on land currently occupied by vacant structures with no government funding an a small tax break that the City offers to nearly every development project in the works.
This will be great for students and Northside residents. I can't wait for a Chipotle to open between the housing and the the University. :-)
Have any of you actually tried to live near the University? You can either get a rap-trap apartment in the ghetto of the northside, live in a greek house, or rent from YSU through its apartments or student housing.
Based on friends that I have networked through on Facebook, they say that this company is more than fair.
I think that Councilwoman is right. It seems like an excellect opportunity, or as I said, one nice gift for that area.
Not to be a visionary, but wouldn't be surpised if St. E's isn't vacant in 10 years, but the student housing development will be alive and bringing new people into the community.
I can see a Starbucks or other casual quick serve restaraunt showing up near the Park Place development.
GET ON BOARD MR. MORRISON. Deal with the fact that we are tired of paying $100 per semester for your parking. If the sidewalk is soooo bad, I am sure some students will still drive to the other end of campus and park near your new business college.
What's YSU real anger? That this development didn't go into Smokey Hollow. What a shame... private money with little to no help from government or taxpayer funds... and we try to stop it? DUH!
So, some private business wants to invest $17,000,000 in the City of Youngstown to improve a nieghborhood that has more rats than residents and YSU and Stambaugh want to stop it?
This would improve the cooridor between many Greek Life houses and YSU.
My University, which often lacks vision, needs to think about this. $17,000,000, none of it from taxpayers, invested in the Northside of Youngstown, THINK ABOUT IT!
If Stambaugh needs more parking for its events, then they need to get a grand to level houses near Turning Point Counseling or develop land behind Park Vista.
Turning down this GIFT, a true gift to the northside of Youngstown would be foolish.
If YSU wants to worry about the students security, then maybe they should think about our financial security with the astronomical prices they charge for their on-campus housing on Wick Oval, also lacking appropriate sidewalks and access to security.
What is this really about? YSU doesn't want competition for its newly developed housing project and attendence at events at Stambaugh continues to decline.
If anything, this development will HELP Stambaugh and YSU, not hurt it.
DEAL WITH IT! We, the students and taxpayers, WANT THIS TO HAPPEN!

Bikes & blues at the Chevy
What a bust!
Me and some guys from school went down to the Chevy Center and the event was a total bust. There were only, at most, 100 people at the event.
Another mis-management by the Chevy Center.
Good thing we have that local control of Eric Ryan to keep the center operational.
I heard that the promoter didn't make a dime and stiffed the Chevy Center (AKA: City of Youngstown) for a $15,000 bill.
OUCH!

None
If she runs her campaign like she would run the country, we would all get stiffed.
What a disgrace.
