Weed and Seed Program

Paving the Way was very proud to be in collaboration with the Lancaster Sheriff’s Department, Lancaster City Code Enforcement Agency along with  probation, parole and several private non-profit organizations  for the Department of Justice ‘s Weed and Seed Strategy which was designed to help prevent, control and reduce violent crimes in a target area. The area serviced was located between Ave H (north) to Ave J (south) 20th Street West to 30th Street East. The strategy did not only weed out the gangs and drug activity within these communities but it seeded back into the community resources that revitalized and rehabilitated those communities.

Congratulations
