Monday, December 18, 2023. 

On Tuesday, December 13, the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley awarded a $12,500 grant for the Glenwood Neighbors Community Safety program.

The program will engage residents and business owners in the neighborhoods along Glenwood Avenue in Youngstown in a coordinated effort to prevent crime by using evidence-based practices for crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), including installing lighting and doorbell security cameras on homes, businesses, and in public spaces that are in the vicinity of hotspots of violent crime. YNDC will work with resident leaders, business owners, and the Youngstown Police Department to implement the program. Many thanks to the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley!
