Youngstown 2010
The City of Youngstown has undertaken an ambitious comprehensive
planning effort, known as Youngstown 2010. The plan provides for a
City that is smaller, greener, cleaner, makes efficient use of its
available resources, and capitalizes on its many cultural amenities
and business advantages.
Novel in its approach to dealing effectively with declining
population, the Youngstown 2010 Plan has drawn interest from cities
around the world that are experiencing post-industrial population
loss or declining birth rates. The Youngstown 2010 Plan has also won
State and National planning awards, including the prestigious
American Planning Association (APA) 2007 National Planning
Excellence Award for Public Outreach.
