On Friday, October 2, the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) and The Raymond John Wean Foundation (Wean Foundation) collected three of the seven statewide awards made by the Ohio Community Development Corporation Association (OCDCA) at its 31st annual conference in Kent, Ohio.
The Department of Justice awarded $155,522 to YNDC for the South Avenue Revitalization Project, a strategic planning initiative that will assemble a coalition to analyze crime drivers along the South Avenue corridor, develop strategies to reduce crime and blight, and increase access to economic opportunity and social services.
The $420,000 Health and Human Services Community Economic Development grant will enable YNDC’s REVITALIZE Project to grow and further develop a viable business model that both figuratively and literally builds people and neighborhoods in the City of Youngstown.
