MS Consultants contributes $5,000 to downtown Youngstown reboot initiative

MS Consultants has contributed $5,000 to the Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber (YWRC) Foundation for an initiative to help reboot downtown Youngstown.

This is the firm's second investment of $5,000 to the cause following its initial gift in 2024. The funding is part of an $8,000 allocation from the firm to support YWRC's commitment to restoring Youngstown's vibrancy after years of adversity.

"Thanks to partners like MS Consultants and the strategic efforts led by EAG, we are moving forward with a bold plan to rebuild a vibrant and prosperous downtown," Coviello said.
