Why is the new mayor opposed to it? If $3 million is coming from the Youngstown Foundation, does that mean the other estimated $3 million is all public money, or are there other funding sources?

I admittedly don't know enough about it, but IIRC, the other $4 million is coming from a HUD loan. Not sure though. As for the new mayor, he argues that building such a large and ambitious park is a waste of money and that focus should be put on the rest of the city rather than Downtown - what he doesn't understand is that without a stable Downtown, there really isn't any reason for investment in the city at all, which is why this is such an important project.
