Why it matters
The demolition is supported by the Ohio Department of Development’s brownfield and demolition program. The program funds 75% of the demolition costs through Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership, requiring the private property owners to fund the remaining 25%. The properties will retain their parcels after the demolition is complete.
