Wednesday afternoon, two Youngstown policemen volunteered to install 74 outdoor LED, solar-powered lights on houses along South Avenue, Marmion Avenue and other neighborhoods on the south side.

Turning blight into bloom is what the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) has been doing for the past eight years.

According to a press release, the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) and volunteers including officers from the Youngstown Police Department and staff from Youngstown State University will be installing solar-powered LED lights east of Cottage Grove and west of South Avenue and from Florida Avenue south to Midlothian Boulevard on Wednesday, April 17.

Take a look around Youngstown these days and you'll see a neighborhood that's changed.

The Garden District Neighborhood Association will have a meeting at 6:30 p.m. today in colonial hall of St. John Lutheran Church, 1420 Mahoning Ave.
