Today's riddle: What is the 1 way to guarantee winning a small fortune at the casino? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Bond reduced for suspects arraigned this month in separate manslaughter cases (wytv.com) — Two defendants in separate Youngstown-area shooting deaths recently had their bonds reduced in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court but both remain jailed. The cases involve fatal shootings on Benita Avenue and North Maryland Avenue, with upcoming court dates and strict bond conditions closely watched in the city's justice system.
2. JobsOhio, Lake to River Kickstarts Program to Build Workforce (businessjournaldaily.com) — A new JobsOhio Technician Path program, announced at Youngstown State University's Excellence Training Center, is offering employers $10,000 per worker to train technicians in earn-to-learn programs. With Mahoning Valley Manufacturers Coalition as regional liaison, Youngstown-area companies can tap this funding now to upskill workers for advanced manufacturing and other high-demand industries.
3. YNDC shows off houses on newly redeveloped Cliff View Street (wkbn.com) — A once-abandoned stretch on Youngstown's lower South Side has been transformed into Cliff View Street, where six new homes across from Mill Creek Park have already sold. Backed by American Rescue Plan funds, the YNDC project showcases strong demand for well-built, affordable housing and is encouraging city leaders to pursue more new construction nearby.
4. ATTOM data says national vacancy rate unchanged in Q3; N.J. rates among lowest in U.S. (roi-nj.com) — Youngstown tops a new national list for "zombie" homes, with 12.1% of properties in foreclosure sitting vacant. While the overall U.S. vacancy rate is low, this high local share signals ongoing neighborhood and housing-market challenges that Youngstown residents and officials may need to confront.
5. YSU Students Honored at Statehouse for Export Program (businessjournaldaily.com) — Youngstown State University students recently earned statewide recognition at the Ohio Statehouse for completing the Ohio Export Internship Program, which pairs students with businesses on real-world trade projects. Their work in exporting and supply chain management is helping local talent build careers while supporting Ohio companies competing in global markets.
