Adopt a Spot

The Public Works Agency strives to have an impact on the quality of life for its citizens. The Adopt-A-Spot/Creek provides opportunities for individuals, families, local businesses, churches and community group can take an active role in beautifying, cleaning and maintaining an area that needs a little extra attention.

Adopt-A-Spot/Creek program is designed to allow participants to do the work on their own time as an individual or as a group. Participants adopt public spaces and make a commitment to regularly clean and beautify the areas for no less than one year. Adopt-A-Spot/Creek activities might include removing litter, graffiti; and maintaining a drain; and other general upkeep.
