Grandview High School student Adrian Reyes, in cooperation with the City of Grandview, is coordinating a downtown clean-up project for his senior project. The clean-up event is entitled “The Clean Sweep” and will be held on Saturday, March 26th, from 10:00 AM to noon. The focus of this event will be to engage volunteer groups and individuals with various tasks of sprucing up public property within the city limits of the Grandview community.

Project Coordinator Reyes stated, “We are asking the community to step up and do their part to help the appearance and environment of Grandview.”  Various areas of concentration will include downtown planters, downtown mural area, City Hall,
Stokely Square
, Parks and Recreation Office grounds, Grandview Police Department grounds, Library/Museum grounds and the east entrance rose garden. Groups and individuals will be matched with one of these specific areas.

Reyes is requesting that those individuals and organizations that want to provide assistance and tools for this event, contact the Grandview Parks and Recreation Department at 882-9219. Due to needed paperwork, pre-registration will be required for this event. Reyes will be in charge of coordinating assignments for the day and will be sending out project instructions ahead of time to respective volunteer leaders.
