YNDC Grass Cutting Team Surpasses 10,000 Cuts in 2015 Season!

Friday, November 6, 2015

In late April 2015, YNDC began cutting all unmaintained vacant homes in the City of Youngstown.

Prior to 2015, the City of Youngstown used multiple contractors and was making 2,500 to 3,000 unique cuts per year.

YNDC began this season after significant preparation utilizing a new data and partnership driven model with the goal to increase the efficiency and scale of the overall vacant home cutting. This goal has been more than realized with the number of unique cuts increased more than three fold, recently surpassing 10,000 unique cuts. Please join us in saluting the City of Youngstown, YNDC Property Maintenance Team, MCTA Summer Youth workers, and AmeriCorps REVITALIZE, who have all assisted with the project and made it a great success.
