Mayor: It's Time to Focus on Neighborhoods

Mayor David H. Rhome said it's time for the borough to focus on its neighborhoods.

That's why he has announced the Mayor’s Clean & Beautification Awards—an initiative designed to recognize efforts of residents, non-profit agencies and businesses to maintain or improve Canonsburg’s neighborhoods.

The awards focus on landscaping and structural improvements.

The awards are open to single or multi-family residences, apartment complexes and non-profit, commercial or industrial properties. All submissions must include a photo taken before work begins as well as the completed project.

A group of volunteer judges will screen the entries, and the final selection process will include an on-site visit when work is completed.  

"The Mayor’s Clean & Beautification Awards Program will be a collaborative effort to show that Canonsburg welcomes businesses, residents, and visitors to a community that takes pride in its home and commercial environment," Rhome said.

Awards will be given to businesses, groups, and individuals, who volunteer for community clean-up projects.

Applications will be available April 1, borough officials said. For more information, contact the mayor's office at 724-745-1800 x16.
