Residents FIGHT BLIGHT at Pleasant Grove Workday

Tuesday, June 14, 2016

Approximately 25 residents and community volunteers came out to clean up 3 vacant homes and a vacant lot on Clarencedale and Erie Avenues in the Pleasant Grove neighborhood.

This event was supported by the Handel's Neighborhood Association, the Boulevard Park Block Watch, 614 Church, and neighborhood residents. Nearly a tractor trailer of brush and overgrowth was cleared from the yards of vacant homes and chipped up using a wood chipper and all 4 properties were mowed. This workday event was planned and organized by the Pleasant Grove Neighborhood Action Team as part of broader community-based efforts to implement the Pleasant Grove Neighborhood Action Plan. YNDC's AmeriCorps VISTA Anika Jacobs assisted with coordinating volunteers for the event. Special thanks to Dunkin' Donuts for providing donuts for the event!

FIGHT BLIGHT.
