Public comments requested for safety improvement project
STRUTHERS, Ohio (WKBN) — The city of Struthers is asking for the public's opinion on proposed safety improvement projects downtown. A release from the mayor's office states the projects were recommended as part of a safety study that revealed areas that could use improvements, making things safer for drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists. The project will involve an upgraded traffic signal and intersection approach at State Street and Bridge Street, improved pedestrian crossings, bike lanes, curb extensions and bump outs, new pavement markings, new curb ramps, and traffic calming. The project is tentatively scheduled to be constructed in 2026 and is currently estimated at $1 million. The City received grant funding through the Ohio Department of Transportation Highway Safety Improvement Program to design and construct this project. There will be minor and temporary impacts to utilities and two business driveways, according to the release. The city is seeking public comments regarding the proposed project. Issues to comment on may include social, environmental and economic impacts. Comments, questions and concerns may be provided using the project website or by contacting Mayor Catherine Cercone Miller by email at mayor@ or calling 330.755.2181 x 111. Comments are requested by June 27. Additional public outreach will be provided before construction. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Struthers residents eligible for housing improvement grants
STRUTHERS, Ohio (WKBN) – The City of Struthers is holding a public meeting Wednesday night to answer questions and discuss the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP). The program allows residents to submit applications to cover the cost of improvements to housing. Struthers is allotted $300,000 to divvy up among residents. City officials say the CHIP program is a popular one, and they usually award eight to 12 grants each year for various projects. The meeting is at city hall in council chambers, starting at 5:30 p.m. Applications for assistance will be handed out to the public. 'This is really vital for cities like Struthers because it allows people to keep up with their homes and them not get into dilapidated forms to the point where we're looking to demo them or knock them down because that's obviously not what we want to do. And a lot of times, people can't afford some of the prices and the cost of things, so this is a big help to a lot of people,' said Mayor Catherine Cercone Miller. The deadline is at 8 a.m. Friday, March. Applications are taken on a first-come first-served basis. The mayor says people start lining up as early as 6 a.m. to get their applications submitted.
