"EXAL would not be where it is today without the assistance of the City of Youngstown. Help was always only a telephone call away. We have loved doing business in Youngstown for the past fourteen years. We look forward to continued growth in the years ahead."

"When we approached the City of Youngstown Development Office with our remodeling plans, we really weren't sure whether or not we would qualify for the Facade Renovation Grant.  Our corporate tower was in need of updating while improving energy efficiencies so when the development office became as excited as we were,  we knew this would be a great relationship.  They quickly went into action and walked us through the necessary steps to secure grant dollars for our project.  Once the project was completed and we submitted the required documentation, we promptly received our grant. 

Hats off to Sharon, Kate, and all their staff as they work to revive Youngstown!"

"Being a part of Youngstown's revitalization for the past 8 years has been very rewarding to both Brian and I.  Thru all of our three major additions of people, equipment and building space, Youngstown's Development Office, has always gone beyond the call of duty to make the process efficient and virtually effortless.  Thru low interest loans, grants and the waiving of permit fees, Youngstown has significantly helped our companies expand to what we are today and we are proud to be part of this City."

“The City of Youngstown and the office of Economic Development have been very instrumental in the growth and success of Cornersburg Party Shop at its new location.

Through the Youngstown Initiative Program our business has had the opportunity to include additional expenses in our development and construction plans that have added greatly to the appearance, functionality and success of our store.

A big thank you to the Office of Economic Development and the City of Youngstown, its members and councilmen.”
