ZELIENOPLE — Dozens of borough residents packed The Strand Theater on Main Street on Monday, June 17, to see what might be in store for Zelienople’s future, as Ben Levenger of Youngstown, Ohio-based Downtown Redevelopment Services briefed residents on the status of the borough’s comprehensive plan update.

Over the past few months, DRS has tallied the results of two surveys it distributed last year, which received more than 900 responses from residents and nonresidents of Zelienople. Levenger said the surveys were open to nonresidents because the planners wanted their input as well.

“If they're coming here to spend money and recreate, it's great for them to be able to spend money,” Levenger said. “We need to know what they want as well, because it’s not just about the residents. One of the ways you keep tax dollars low is to have people come in and spend money.”

Of the survey respondents, 72.9% live within the borough.
