Land Bank Receives CityScape's Beautification Award
The Land Bank received the "Community Beautification" award from Youngstown CityScape at its 13th annual Beautification Awards ceremony and reception at the DeYor Performing Arts Center in downtown Youngstown. Maciek Adamczak, landscape contractor and owner of Municipal Action Corporation, Ltd., Debora Flora, executive director of Mahoning County Land Bank and Steve Avery, planning and operations director at Mill Creek Metroparks were among the Land Bank's partners for its neighborhood projects.
Renovation Converts 'Nuisance' to Move-in-Ready Home
Austintown Township had declared the 1,864-square-foot, split-level home at 4942 Signature Circle a nuisance long before a sheriff’s sale drew no interested buyers, and the township zoning inspector suggested transferring it to the Land Bank for renovation. The newly renovated house is now for sale.
Firefighters Utilize Vacant House for Training
Students training to be firefighters from Choffin and Mahoning Career & Technical Centers gained real-life experience during a recent training in a vacant duplex owned by the Land Bank on East Lucius Avenue in Youngstown. The Land Bank is glad to partner with the Youngstown Fire Department to support these kinds of hands-on trainings in houses set for demolition.
