The Mahoning County commissioners approved vacating Church Street in Boardman to allow construction of a Jared Galleria of Jewelry store.

The street, which ran off Market Street near Southern Park Mall, was vacated for use by Cocca Development Ltd. and Simon Property Group for the project, which will cost more than $1 million.

Church Street, which was installed to serve a small residential area that is now part of the mall parking lot, had to be vacated to enable construction at the former location of Family Christian Store.

The Akron-based Jared has 13 Ohio locations, including one in Cuyahoga Falls.

Cocca owns Fashion Square Plaza, where construction of the Jared store is planned.

The commissioners made their decision Friday after a public hearing last week in Boardman, where all comments favored vacating the street for the new store.
