Project Safe Neighborhood is a collaboration between the Fairmont Police Department, Fairmont State University, and Pierpont Community and Technical College.
Officers and FSU Fraternity members hit the streets between Locust and Walnut Avenues picking up trash and cleaning.
Organizers say the area was targeted because of it high crime rate.
The next step is forming a neighborhood watch group in the area.
Students at Alderson Broaddus College also spent Saturday cleaning.
Around 65 students participated in A Good Day of Service.
They spent three hours picking up trash, weeding gardens, raking leaves, and washing windows at businesses and homes on Main Street in Philippi.
