Citizens for a Clean Springfield is hosting a public meeting Saturday, December 16, 9:30 am at AIC’s Cultural Arts Center on State Street. The organization, which is in the process of becoming formally affiliated with Keep America Beautiful, has arranged for Sue Smith, KAB’s director of education and training, to discuss the benefits to the city of such an affiliation.
Following the public meeting, a team organized by CCS of private and public sector representatives will convene for a three-hour "pre-certification" workshop.
CCS is also making plans for April, which the group, in a campaign partnering with the YMCA and the city, has declared Pride in Springfield month. Events focusing on a clean city are planned to include public education, various site clean-ups (such as 34 lots in one day, dumpsters provided), and beautification projects.
