WARREN A real estate development company formed by a Warren attorney has purchased the Atrium Building downtown for $450,000.
Jeff Goodman’s North Park Properties Group LLC bought the building, 103 W. Market St., at the corner of Park Avenue and Market Street, from Downtown Development Group LLC, which has redeveloped several buildings on or near Courthouse Square.
Meanwhile, an affiliate property group of Downtown Development Group also recently purchased a building just off the square on South Park Avenue and expects new tenants there in the very near future.

LORDSTOWN A Chattanooga, Tenn.-based company investing $38 million here to remake the former Magna Seating Systems plant into a plastics facility is asking the state for funding to enhance railroad access at the site.
When the Ohio Rail Development Commission meets Wednesday, it will decide on a $100,000 request from M&M Industries Inc., which in December acquired 1702 Henn Parkway to be the company’s fourth manufacturing location in the U.S.
According to the company, the light manufacturing and assembly plant will “manufacture current and future innovations” for M&M. When the site is fully operational, it will employ about 100 workers.
WARREN The city had no fire fatalities in 2020. It had two before the first sunrise of 2021.
A mother and her 5-year-old son were killed and two others suffered minor injuries in a house fire early Friday morning at 2853 Woodland St. NE.
“We got a call around 3:15 a.m. for a reported structure fire,” Warren Assistant Fire Chief Bill Monrean said.
According to a Trumbull County 911 report, initial calls indicated the fire was at the back of the house and the garage. Monrean said the fire still is under investigation, and he would not say where the fire started or where the two victims were found.
