In Depth with Youngstown Mayor Tito Brown
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – It's a new year, and WKBN 27 First News Community Affairs Director Dee Crawford sat down with Youngstown Mayor Tito Brown to talk about what's ahead. Brown said the city's administration is working on a plan and date for him to deliver his State of City address. 'We've identified a couple of dates for our State of the City. We also like to get it where we can know all of our books are finished, and we want to make sure we can invite some guests,' Brown said. 'I like to have an interactive State of the City.' The venue will most likely be the DeYor Performing Arts Center. 'I like the location. I like the size of hospitality,' Brown said. 'We are looking forward to talking about what 2024 looked like as well as what 2025 will be for us.' Anyone is invited to attend and get a first-hand look at some of the changes in downtown Youngstown. It's been a $22 million investment and challenging. 'We never planned for the pandemic. We never planned for anything to happen to our construction. But when you look at the old, aging cities with infrastructure, we can see what is above ground, but when you get below ground, we never know what we are going to find.' The State of the City will include some topics Brown says he is most proud of such as coming out of deficit spending from 2018 and being in the black over eight budget cycles. 'Three years in a row, we've had audits that said we are clean, you are doing well with the public's money, and I am proud of that,' Brown said. 'The other piece is that crime is down.' Tune in Thursday to hear more about the State of the City plans. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
