West End gets federal money to fight crime - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan announced today that eight West End neighborhoods will be eligible for up to $1 million to combat gangs, drugs and other crimes that have plagued those neighborhoods.
The money comes from the U.S. Department of Justice's Weed and Seed Program, which is a joint community and law enforcement effort to improve neighborhood safety.
'These funds are not going to be used just to weed the bad elements from your communities, they'll be used to revitalize,' Buchanan said.
