Tom Humphries Reflects on Youngstown

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Tom Humphries played a role in the 1993 consolidation of the Warren, Youngstown and Niles chambers into the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber.

He says he’s seen a lot of change, much of it similar to what’s happened in other communities.

“We’ve seen the sprawl from the center of the cities,” Humphries says. “Every city has shrunk in northeastern Ohio. We’re no different. I think our area’s cleaner. I know the pollution is far less.”
