East Granby Residents Invited To “Adopt” Local Roads

EAST GRANBY, CT — Residents, businesses, and community groups have an opportunity to help keep local roads clean while earning some recognition along the way.

The Town of East Granby is seeking volunteers for its Adopt-A-Road Program, an initiative that encourages individuals and organizations to take responsibility for maintaining a stretch of roadway throughout the year.

Participants agree to adopt a road segment roughly one to two miles long and complete three cleanups annually. The town’s Department of Public Works provides safety gear, trash bags, and training to support volunteers.

Groups that participate will also receive a sign along their adopted road recognizing their contribution to the community.

Individuals, families, businesses, scout troops, youth groups, and community or faith-based organizations are all eligible to take part in the program.

As an added incentive, each volunteer group will be entered into a June lottery for a chance to receive one of seven free dump passes for the following year.

Those interested in participating must sign up through a Google form available on the town’s website or contact the East Granby Department of Public Works by April 30. Questions can be directed to DPW staff member Kim at 860-653-6822 or kimc@egtownhall.com.

Town officials say the program offers a simple way for residents to protect the environment, build community pride, and make a visible difference in East Granby.
