What is the Adopt-A-Block program?

Launched in 2022, this initiative involves volunteers who regularly monitor and maintain small sections of roads within city limits. The mission is to improve quality of life and build a sense of community through the preservation, upkeep, and improvement of our neighborhoods.

How can I get involved?

Adoptions are available for both individuals and groups. Decide which block or blocks you wish to adopt, check the map to see if they are available, then select your block and fill out the adoption form.

What are the responsibilities?

Adopters perform at least one clean-up per quarter as part of a two-year agreement. Clean-ups include the removal of litter, vegetative overgrowth, and weeds. Report your results online by filling out and submitting the Clean-Up Day Data Form at the end of your clean-up.since your was used at the end

What do I need to bring?
