YOUNGSTOWN Mahoning Avenue the entire width of Austintown will be repaved in 2021, which is “greatly needed” but will be a “major inconvenience,” Mahoning County Engineer Pat Ginnetti told the county commissioners Wednesday.
The commissioners authorized Ginnetti to go out to bid for the resurfacing, which will cost about $5 million.
Ginnetti said the repaving will improve the county road from the border with Youngstown at Meridian Road all the way to the west border at the Meander Reservoir.
Ginnetti said the project is likely to begin late spring or early summer, but the start will be dependent on the weather and when the asphalt plants open.

YOUNGSTOWN The 7th District Court of Appeals has overturned a ruling in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court that dismissed a civil suit filed by a Warren woman over the purchase of a used car.
The ruling means the case goes back to Judge Maureen Sweeney and her magistrate, Dennis Sarisky, for further litigation.
Sweeney ruled Oct. 30, 2019, in favor of the request of Edward Wallace of Youngstown for summary judgment, meaning a decision by a judge without a trial. Wallace was the seller of the car.
Sweeney ruled that Wallace did not violate the Consumer Sales Practice Act because there was insufficient evidence that Wallace met the definition of a “supplier” of goods or that he committed an unfair and / or deceptive and / or unconscionable act or practice.
