NEWARK -- Concerned residents and community leaders met Thursday  
night to discuss ways to revitalize the Union Street corridor.

The meeting, hosted by the Newark and Ohio Departments of  
Development, sought input on plans to spruce up the area bordered by  
Union and Main streets, Grant Street and Raccoon Drive.

About 15 people attended the meeting, many of them residents in the  
area.

Newark Economic Development Coordinator Stuart Moynihan said the city  
has targeted 12 potential "brownfield" sites in the area, with a  
specific focus on two larger properties. Money from a state grant  
awarded late last year will help defray the cost of cleaning up the
