“ORCHID: To former Liberty resident Jesse Reed, an artist now living in Brooklyn, N.Y., who returned to the Mahoning Valley last week to paint uplifting messages on the walls of the West Front Street underpass in downtown Youngstown. The 14-foot letters read “You Can. You Will.” and “You Did. You Have.” Economic Action Group, a Youngstown nonprofit organization that encourages economic and community development, Youngstown Councilman Julius Oliver, D-1st Ward, also deserves recognition for helping coordinate such an inspiring project in a downtown on the turn-around.”
