An Update from the Mahoning County Land Bank | April 2019
Land Bank, YNDC Mark Milestone with Home Rehabs
Leaders from the Land Bank, Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation and others in the community say the recent celebration of YNDC’s 100th vacant home renovation demonstrates the power of collaboration. The home was acquired by the Land Bank and renovated by the YNDC.
Bus Artwork Promotes Beautification, Community 
An image appearing on local buses through support from the Mahoning County Land Bank advances the Land Bank’s emphasis on property beautification and community. The “Sunflower Field” photo by Canfield photographer Pattie Conti will grace WRTA buses through May after it was selected by the Land Bank as part of a local artist showcase through GoArt!, an initiative organized by Power of the Arts.  
Interact Groups Sort Books for Little Free Libraries
Students from Interact Clubs at Cardinal Mooney and Valley Christian high schools recently worked alongside members of the Rotary Club of Youngstown to sort thousands of books donated to a book drive hosted by the Land Bank and Rotary Club of Youngstown. The books were donated for Little Free Libraries the Land Bank and Rotary have installed in Mahoning County.
Land Bank, CityScape Recycle Trees in Youngstown
Youngstown CityScape recently donated nearly 40 miniature trees from planters in downtown Youngstown to the Mahoning County Land Bank for the second year in a row. The trees were planted for the Christmas season and will now be recycled through vacant land beautification in Youngstown. The Land Bank thanks Maciek Adamczak (pictured above, right), owner of Municipal Action Corporation, Ltd., and his employees (also pictured), as well as Community Corrections Association personnel for providing labor to remove and replant the trees.
