Land Bank, NeighborWorks and city crews plan summer cleanup of overgrown lots
Summary
The Lackawanna County Land Bank told the board it will work with NeighborWorks and Scranton city crews to clean overgrown lots this summer and will provide the board with a list of problem properties.
The Lackawanna County Land Bank reported plans to coordinate summer cleanup of overgrown lots with NeighborWorks and Scranton city crews, and said the land bank will provide a cleanup list to board members.
Director Ralph Pappas told the board that with warmer weather the land bank's lots will start to get overgrown and that the land bank will work with NeighborWorks and the city to have properties cleaned. Pappas said city crews have responded promptly when he called staff (identified as Sherry) about specific properties.
Pappas asked the board for time to compile a list of properties for the group to address and said he would circulate that list to members. The comments occurred during the meeting's Blight Task Force update; no formal vote or action was recorded on the cleanup plan at the meeting.
