Though the City of Dayton attempts to mow vacant lots three times yearly (billing the service to property owners when possible), grass and weeds can get ahead of the process during warm weather months. The City is encouraging residents, businesses and organizations to join in the effort to make our neighborhoods beautiful, and the Care A Lot Dayton program offers help. Below is a list of resources and links to help you and your neighbors. Care A Lot, launched in the spring of 2011, works with the community to strenghten and connect existing efforts when possible.
If you need more information, contact Department of Planning and Community Development staff: Kathleen Riggs (333-3671 or kathleen.riggs@daytonohio.gov) or Ray Alexander (333-6549 or ray.alexander@daytonohio.gov).
