Mayor John Peyton, Dr. Johnny Gaffney, Dr. Robert Lee announce Neighborhood Weed N Seed Grant
Mayor John Peyton, Councilman Dr. Johnny Gaffney, United States Attorney’s Office, Jacksonville Eastside Community Association and Dr. Robert Lee with Fresh Ministries announce Neighborhood Weed and Seed Grant to create a blueprint for community policing.
Weed and Seed is foremost a strategy—rather than a grant program—that aims to prevent, control, and reduce violent crime, drug abuse, and gang activity in targeted high-crime neighborhoods across the country. Weed and Seed sites range in size from several neighborhood blocks to 15 square miles. – www.ojp.usdoj.gov

In 1991, the U.S. Department of Justice established Operation Weed and Seed—a community-based multi-agency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention, and neighborhood restoration. Operation Weed and Seed is administered by the Community Capacity Development Office (CCDO), Office of Justice Programs. The goals of Weed and Seed are to control violent crime, drug trafficking, and drug-related crime in designated high-crime neighborhoods and provide a safe environment free of crime and drug use for residents. The Weed and Seed strategy brings together Federal, State, and local crime-fighting agencies, social service providers, representatives of the public and private sectors, prosecutors, business owners, and neighborhood residents under the shared goal of weeding out violent crime and gang activity while seeding in social services and economic revitalization. Weed and Seed began with three pilot sites in 1991 and has spread quickly to more than 300 high-crime neighborhoods across the Nation.
The Weed and Seed strategy is a two-pronged approach to
crime control and prevention:
❥ Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors cooperate in weeding out criminals from the designated area.
❥ Seeding brings prevention, intervention, treatment, and neighborhood revitalization services to the area.
The Weed and Seed approach is unique when compared with traditional crime prevention approaches of the past. The strategy is based on collaboration, coordination, community participation, and leveraging resources. Weed and Seed sites maximize existing programs and resources by coordinating and integrating existing Federal, State, local, and private sector initiatives, criminal justice efforts, and social services. The strategy also puts heavy emphasis on community participation. Residents of Weed and Seed neighborhoods are actively involved in problem solving in their community. Neighborhood watches, citizen marches and rallies, cleanup events, drug-free zones, and graffiti removal are some of the common programs that encourage community participation and help prevent crime.

How could I start a lawn mowing service in my neighborhood?
I am 15 and want to start a lawn mowing business in my neighborhood. How can i do this what should i charge? the yards are not huge but they are not that small
You could do pretty good mowing lawns because you probably wouldn’t have insurance nor pay taxes and those types of overhead. You could have prices much lower then your competitors. Some people don’t really care about the quality of work, they just want a low price. That would be your market to start. Put flyers out and knock on some doors, people will appreciate a young guy out looking for work.
Anyone ever offer thier services to sell stuff on Ebay for other people ?
I want to put out a flier in my neighborhood, saying I will help them sell thier stuff on Ebay. I was wondering what to charge ?
and what would be a good way to collect it ?
yeah i did this for a few months. made a good buck. charged 10% commission with minimum $10 cut for myself per item. did it all through my ebay account, went into my bank account, then just gave the seller the cash.
Took photos for them, wrote up descriptions blah blah. Mostly it was appliances and big stuff so just told them when the people who bought it were coming around and they would pick it up and take it away. hassle free for the seller.
