Trumbull and Mahoning counties will receive $7.9 million in federal appropriations, including $5 million for the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport to upgrade runway 5/23, which has not been resurfaced since 1997. The Federal Aviation Administration warned that the runways were nearing disrepair.

The main runway received previous funding for resurfacing projects. Additionally, Boardman will get $1.5 million for U.S. Route 224 safety improvements, Struthers will receive $800,000 for water pollution control upgrades, and Niles will obtain $600,000 for a sanitary detention pump station project.
