Take Pride in Greater Lansing Update

The team has been working on developing a plan for an initiative called “Taking Pride in Greater Lansing”  in which community members identify places in the region that are considered detrimental to presenting a positive first impression, and then teams or groups of volunteers gather to improve them. The projects could range from simple spring and fall landscaping cleanups to physical repairs at highly visible entryways through the community.  We will plan for and promote a community day in the Spring of 2011, and teams will be deployed to cleanup areas, with awards and recognition for efforts to follow. A subcommittee has been formed to implement this initiative.
