Austintown Trustee Jim Davis said the shuttered Wedgewood Lanes is an eyesore to the residents living nearby as well as the other businesses in the Wedgewood Plaza on Raccoon Road. Davis said there are endless possibilities for the property after it is demolished, but the process to take it down is a long one. The owner is $38,000 in arrears on its property taxes, according to Mahoning County Auditor records.

AUSTINTOWN Gone are the days when Wedgewood Lanes, 1741 S. Raccoon Road, was packed with cars and people spending the night bowling.
Now all that stands is a building falling apart while other businesses in Wedgewood Plaza are thriving.
AUSTINTOWN The Pizza Hut on Mahoning Avenue in the township has closed for good.
Township Trustee Jim Davis said the restaurant closed due to slow business brought on by COVID-19. He also noted that many people would go to the restaurant to dine in.
“You hate to see any business close, but the bright side is that many of the employees were able to get relocated,” Davis said.
