YOUNGSTOWN - New life could be coming to Youngstown’s long-vacant former Chill-Can site.

Youngstown Mayor Tito Brown said the property will likely be turned into an East Side Industrial Park, with the goal of bringing jobs and revenue back to the city.

Some neighbors, however, are split on what the development means for their community.

The site, which includes three buildings valued at more than $2 million, has sat idle for years.

Brown said now that the property is back in the city’s hands, his vision is clear.

“My vision is to see that place back into productive use," he said, "I envision it being a small industrial park where we can get multiple businesses in there for annual revenue, but also putting it back where we got jobs, people working and help grow our economy."
