of Keep America Beautiful, is accepting applications for the 2011
Adopt a City Neighborhood Program. Any neighborhood within City limits
is eligible to apply. KCB's objective is to enhance the quality of
life for Charlotteans by maintaining and improving the cleanliness and
beauty of our City. The KCB committee works closely with neighborhood
organizations and homeowners' groups, as well as with area businesses,
schools and local governments to achieve these goals.
Every year, the KCB Committee members select a neighborhood to adopt
and work with residents to provide a community service/beautification
project of the neighborhood's choosing. There is no cost for the
neighborhood to participate, however, neighborhood volunteers and a
commitment to maintain the project after completion is necessary.
Some examples of projects completed in recent years have included:
beautification of neighborhood entrances, landscaping neighborhood
common area and painting a neighborhood center.
Neighborhoods must apply by January 31, 2011 to be considered. Visit http://kcb.charmeck.org
