- At that meeting, Sammarone said he specifically told Shasho to inform every business owner in the area about the project.
Shasho — with the assistance of Lyndsey Hughes, downtown director of events, special projects and marketing — told most business owners, but acknowledged he missed a few. Sammarone said Shasho — and not Hughes — is responsible for the problem.
Hughes said she was told by Sammarone to let Shasho and Marucci and Gaffney Excavating, the Youngstown company doing this work, inform business owners “because they could have technical questions. I had a feeling that people weren’t finding out so I let them know.”
Among those not contacted by Shasho or Hughes was Robert Faraglia, owner of Roberto’s Italian Ristorante at 103 W. Federal St., located in the heart of the work area.
Faraglia and Barry Silver, owner of Silver’s Vogue Shop at 27 W. Federal St., also in the middle of the project area, said in a Saturday article in The Vindicator that they had no warning the work was going to start and vehicular traffic would be closed at Phelps.
Sammarone said he read the article and called Shasho on Saturday, asking, “Didn’t I tell you what to do?”
