Major Community Cleanup Day for Trinity Gardens

May 20th, 2006

As part of an $80,000 Weed and Seed grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, residents from Trinity Gardens held a community cleaning competition throughout the neighborhood. Students from Brazier Elementary tried to pick up more trash than students from Chastang Middle School.

Mobile Mayor Sam Jones and City Councilman Fred Richardson presented awards to devoted citizens in the area for their dedication to keeping the community clean.

Other initiatives the grant is being used for include tearing down 10 dilapidated and abandoned buildings and cutting overgrown grass.
