YOUNGSTOWN — Mayor Jamael Tito Brown gave his State of the City address at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Chamber Good Morning Youngstown Breakfast on Friday morning.

"We have so much more work to do, and we've come so far in such a short time," Brown said.

The Youngstown Year in Review for 2020 and Brown's State of the City address is available on the city's website.
