Groundbreaking held for new home on Wilson Street in Struthers

A groundbreaking was held for new and affordable housing opportunities in Struthers Tuesday.

The home is being built at 42 East Wilson Street with the project being funded by a grant, the Mahoning County Land Bank and the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation.

When construction is done, the house will be about 1,400 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The groups hope to create more opportunities for affordable housing to help strengthen the city.

"There are a lot of touch points in the City of Struthers," Mahoning County Land Bank Executive Director Debora Flora said. "For that reason, we're celebrating today because Struthers is a great community and we hope that we're doing our part in making it stronger."

New modular homes are replacing vacant lots around the city as well. They are planned for lots along Haywood Avenue, Narcissa Street, Poland Avenue and Hawthorne Street.
