Commissioner Fry encourages public to form teams and help clean-up Toccoa

Toccoa City Commissioner Gail Fry is encouraging the public to form teams to help clean-up areas in Toccoa during the community-wide beautification and clean-up month.

As WNEG News previously reported, both the Stephens County Board of Commissioners and Toccoa City Commission have signed proclamation declaring April as Community-Wide Beautification and Clean-up Month.

Part of this initiative includes a financial incentive for community members who form teams to clean up the 12 most littered areas in Toccoa-Stephens County.

During the recent Toccoa City Commission meeting, Fry encouraged the public to form teams and sign-up for one of the 12 areas.

She explained that they are working with the Stephens County School System to teach the students about littering.

This week, Fry and some other city employees will go out to local businesses to ask them to clean up their parking lots and outside their businesses.

The final event for the Clean-up month will be the Stephens County Amnesty Day on April 23.

The list of roads people can sign-up to clean include: Avon Street, Boulevard/Beechwood, Broad Street, Collier Road, Collins Road, Edwards Street, Fernside Drive/Ayers Creek, King Street, N. Pond Street, Peachtree Street, Prather Bridge Road/Jail, Roselane/Skyline Drive, and Rothell Road.

Again, the city is asking anyone interested in forming a team to come to Toccoa City Hall the week of April 18 through April 24.
