WARREN — Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership has received $25,000 in support from Huntington Bank for “Building A Better Warren,” a jobs program that employs local residents in the execution of neighborhood revitalization plans and blight remediation efforts.

“Huntington Bank is devoted to the growth and development of the communities we serve. The Building a Better Warren Program is a comprehensive approach that not only aids promoting neighborhood quality of life, but also in job training and job creation. We are happy to support this initiative and assist in the progress of our city,” Huntington Bank stated in a news release.

The program emphasizes hiring local workers for jobs that improve Trumbull County neighborhoods, such as property rehabilitation, tree planting, and ongoing property maintenance. The program also partners with the Trumbull County Land Reutilization Corporation (land bank) to focus rehabilitation work on properties in the land bank’s inventory. “This program is all about putting our residents to work revitalizing our neighborhoods,” said Matt Martin, executive director of TNP. “Through Building a Better Warren, we are able to hire local people to help improve their own community, which has leveraged multiple resources and partnerships. We are grateful to Huntington for their continued support.”
