SitemapDozens of volunteers were out working Saturday on the south side of Youngstown, cleaning up a commercial property on Glenwood Avenue.
The building is owned by the Western Reserve Port Authority, who teamed with the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) to get the property ready for a tenant. At the community workday, volunteers removed trees, laid mulch, cleared weeds and picked up trash, among other things. "There is so much work we would not be able to get done without our volunteers. We have at least one workday every month to clean up the neighborhoods and we engage thousands of volunteers every year and when you think about the number of hours that they are putting in for our organization, we would never have the resources to get the work done," said YNDC Housing Director Tiffany Sokol.
