Safety program lights up area in Youngstown
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – A program in Youngstown that lights up areas of the city to make them more crime-resistant and safer has finished up a project.
The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation's Community Safety Program recently installed new lighting on businesses along the Glenwood Corridor.
Several large lights have been placed at businesses and areas that were previously shadowed by darkness. You can see the before and after pictures below:
The lighting program works with businesses, neighborhoods and community groups to target areas.
Also, the program works with households in 'hotspot' areas to install solar security lights, doorbell cameras, and solar street lights across the city.
YNDC released its annual report earlier this year, listing all of its completed and upcoming projects, with the Glenwood Avenue Corridor being the focal point of many initiatives.
