The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. celebrated its 100th home rehabilitation with the unveiling of a recently finished property at 4202 Rush Blvd.

In the nine years that Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. has been renovating abandoned houses, the end result has largely been the same.

Wednesday afternoon, two Youngstown policemen volunteered to install 74 outdoor LED, solar-powered lights on houses along South Avenue, Marmion Avenue and other neighborhoods on the south side.

Turning blight into bloom is what the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) has been doing for the past eight years.

According to a press release, the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) and volunteers including officers from the Youngstown Police Department and staff from Youngstown State University will be installing solar-powered LED lights east of Cottage Grove and west of South Avenue and from Florida Avenue south to Midlothian Boulevard on Wednesday, April 17.
