Beautification Committee Meets
Thursday, March 6th, 2008As many of you know the HORIZONS project held a community event at the Bentley Building in December of 2007. Three committees were formed as a result of that event: Town Beautification, Economic Development and Community Activities/Youth Involvement. The Beautification committee met february 27th to discuss ways in which we can help the community look more appealing to visitors in town for the Centennial. Short and long term projects were discussed. In the short term, Coleman Avenue and Main Street were to be the focus and, in addition, it was decided that we could offer general services to residents that are unable to conduct such activities on their own such as tree pruning, mowing and general cleanup. We could repaint the façade of the old bar and remove the sign, possibly paint a house, and offer the Master Gardeners some financial support towards their ‘barrel’ project. Long term projects might include moving junk vehicles to the landfill and have them crushed and removed, paint another house or two, tree plantings or anything else within our limits that might possibly come up. If you or your property could benefit from the short term projects described above please contact Terry Hall by April 7th at 244-5222 ext4 (w) or 430-0877 in the evening.
