I agree - it is a strange shift in flight routes. But, Southern Airways doesn't seem to do long distance routes, meaning flights to the south won't happen. I don't see how Youngstown can have enough people interested in flying to Detroit or DC to be honest - recently an airline brought service to Chicago, and it failed miserably. In reality, I can't see the airport succeeding without Allegiant - Most people that used the airport used it as a cheaper/more convenient alternative to fly to vacation destinations, most notably Myrtle Beach. Now, this will not be possible.


And regarding the utility box project, a second phase will be done in the next few weeks. It appears it will still just be in the Downtown/YSU area, but it could be for other neighborhoods too.
