 I noticed that the vast majority of the applicants don't even live in Youngstown and probably won't move into the city if they are hired for the job. 
:P

The mayor should select a city resident or someone who is willing to move into the city to live here like we do.

Here is the VERY BEST CHOICE:

JAC Management Group LLC of Struthers, which manages the Youngstown-owned Covelli Centre, submitted an application for the position. In the application, JAC officials wrote that the company's experience working downtown and with businesses located there make them an ideal choice.<!--   OAS_AD('Middle');   //--> - See more at: http://www.vindy.com/news/2014/sep/09/-apply-for-post-of-events-director/#sthash.np4wL0lL.dpuf

I'm with you on this. Either JAC run completely or hire someone part time and partner with other entities like JAC or visitors Bureau etc

Kind of nice to see so many applicants for the position.  Hope they make a good
choice in who they hire for this.
