On Monday, June 13, YNDC began another year of participation in Mahoning Columbiana Training Association's Summer Youth Employment Program.
10 young men are assigned to YNDC and will learn basic construction and landscaping skills over the summer while assisting with vacant home grass cutting and boarding throughout the City of Youngstown. We anticipate more young people to begin in the coming weeks.
As of the end of day Thursday, June 16, 2016 our grass cutting teams have made 3,180 unique cuts at vacant homes in the city. Please note this number does not include any vacant lots.
As a comparison to last year at the end of the day on June 16, 2015, we had completed 2,634 unique cuts at vacant homes and for a comparison to 2014 (prior to YNDC vacant home grass cutting program management) less than 3,000 total unique cuts at vacant homes were made through the grass cutting season.
Fight Blight.
