Village of Youngstown Clock Tower
The Clock Tower on the Village Center was originally constructed as a bell tower in the 1930's with the clock being added in the 1960's. Due to the lack of maintenance over the years, there is structural and water damage. The Village intends to stabilize and move the Clock Tower to the ground utilizing ARPA funds from NYS. This will allow for a contractor to perform the necessary roofing and building repairs. While the Tower is on the ground, the Village intends to obtain quotes to renovate the structure to then place it back onto the roof of the Village Center. Having the tower on the ground will provide for easy and safe access to a contractor to perform the necessary renovations.
