On Wednesday,
July 12, leaders and representatives from neighborhoods across the City of
Youngstown gathered at YNDC for the first Citywide Neighborhood Action Team
meeting.
Residents discussed issues facing their respective neighborhoods and,
through a number of exercises, were able to pinpoint common problems that
affect residents throughout the city. Some of the issues discussed included
infrastructure development, lighting, crime, vacant property upkeep, youth and
senior activities, parks, code violations, policing, and more. The purpose of
the meeting was to find common ground and prioritize development moving forward
so as to benefit as much of the city’s residents as possible.
