Program Chairman, Brian Larawayintroduced our guest, Phil Kidd, who invented the movement "Defend Youngstown". Phil had attended YSU in the '90's and came back after he saw the 2010 plan. He was impressed and felt a commitment to Youngstown. He felt that Youngstown was lacking pride, and by starting the Defend Youngstown organization, he could help.There are many good things happening inYoungstown and the future looks good.The Smokey Hollow Project, Wick Park, CityScape, Business College are just a few of the changes being made. Smokey Hollow will be a $100 million project encompassing 62 acres. The population of Youngstown is now only 82,130 people living there and 89% are minorities. 800-950 houses are being demolishedper year and all that comes out of the budget. Things are looking better in Youngstown.
