1st Annual Huntington Clean Sweep
The First Annual “Huntington Clean Sweep” beautification project will be Saturday, April 25 through Saturday, May 2. Sponsored by the Mayor’s Committee for a Sustainable Community, the Clean Sweep project is a citywide event that focuses on sprucing up both the downtown and residential areas of Huntington.
Brandi Jacobs-Jones, City of Huntington Director of Administration and Finance, states, “This is going to be an exceptionally busy year for tourism, and we want to make sure we showcase Huntington for our visitors. It is our goal to once again make the Jewel City sparkle, and we encourage everyone to join us in this first annual event.”
Volunteers are needed for the downtown cleanup on Saturday, April 25 and Saturday, May 2. Civic groups, church groups, student organizations, businesses, and concerned citizens are encouraged to participate and “Adopt-A-Block” by painting over graffiti, pulling weeds, picking up trash, etc.
Community residents are urged to contact their Neighborhood Association for week-long cleanup activities in their areas. The City of Huntington will have commercial dumpsters positioned throughout the neighborhoods to assist in the cleanup effort.
Businesses wishing to donate supplies for the event should contact Cathy Snoddy, at 304-697-7550 or csnoddy@huntingtonjuniorcollege.edu.
