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
