Clean Streets Committee - Good Neighbor Recognition Award Program
NEWRA’s Clean Streets Committee is recognizing businesses and property owners in our neighborhood who are good neighbors and take pride in the appearance of their business or property by keeping their sidewalk and especially gutters clean and clear of trash. Nominations can come from committee members, residents and the businesses themselves and can be sent to cleanstreets@newra.org. Winners will be determined at the monthly Clean Streets meeting. More than one business can be a winner and a business can win more than once. To honor the winners, the committee will award a Good Neighbor Certificate of Recognition. In addition, The Regional Review, NorthEndWaterfront.com and NEWRA.org will promote the winner(s) by placing a photo of their business(s) in the paper and on the websites. This recognition will also encourage both residents and visitors to frequent their establishments. Our committee will do our part by continuing to educate and encourage residents to keep their sidewalks AND gutters clean and properly put out trash and recycling during the designated hours. We look forward to a neighborhood of many winners!
