Stavich Bike Trail Rehabilitation Grant
The county is applying for $661,458 from the state's Local Share Account program to rehab its county-owned bike trail, which draws visitors from Ohio and Pittsburgh who patronize local restaurants and businesses. This is the third straight year the planning office has applied; the first year was successful, last year was not.
Stavich Bike Trail lease extension
The county is chasing another $250,000 state grant to keep repairing its own bike trail — drainage and paving work across Union and Mahoning townships. Trail tourism matters here, and the county only spends its ~$37,500 match if the grant lands.
Flywheel Sports youth sports revitalization at Gaston Park
The county is transferring 26 long-held vacant lots near Gaston Park to the Redevelopment Authority so Flywheel Sports can buy them and expand its project — new court lighting, resurfaced tennis courts, and programming for at-risk youth. Grants of $100,000 and $20,000 are funding the work.
