Friday, November 27, 2015

The Florence Simon Beecher Foundation has awarded $25,000 to YNDC for the development of its workshop and storage facility at 45 Oneta Street.

The 1440 square foot, 1.5 acre facility provides YNDC with space to maintenance its fleet of vehicles and professional landscaping equipment, and improvements made with these funds will enable the organization to expand the number of vacant home board-up and rehabilitation projects completed each year, the number of volunteers engaged, and the number of seasonal jobs that can be sustained through the winter months.
