YOUNGSTOWN
City council voted unanimously on the $102,168 contract with the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. to supervise and manage a grass-cutting and property-cleanup program.
Starting April 15, YNDC will supervise and manage about 20 low-income people, between age 18 and 24, to cut grass, clean debris and illegal dumping sites, do light landscaping and board-up vacant structures. Some members noted that the meeting was more productive than last week.
“I think everyone is on the same page,” Councilwoman Janet Tarpley, D-6th, said.
