"If", "maybe" ... none of this is a done deal ... in fact there is absolutely nothing new in this article ... all talk hinging on "if's ... IF they can get State money ... IF they can get Federal money ... IF the authorities will make an exception on the designs. If, after if, after if.
Big talk but little else so there's no reason to get excited. It's like so many other grand schemes that went absolutely nowhere in Youngstown.
