| Keep Pearland Beautiful continues to highlight it’s award winning programs. In March 2016 KPB will be completing the annual Community Appearance Index, hosting the Spring Plant Sale and completing a beautification project at the new Nature Trails! |
Community Appearance IndexMarch 5, 2016 from 12:00-4:00 PM at Stella Roberts Recycling Center, 5800 Magnolia The Community Appearance Index (CAI) is a tool designed by Keep America Beautiful (KAB) to visually assess the overall appearance of communities through indicators such as litter, illegal signs, graffiti, abandoned/junk vehicles and outside storage. A team of community, business and government representatives conduct the visual analysis using a scoring system ranging from 1-4, with “1” being the best to “4” being the worst. The Litter Index for Pearland rated a 1.464 in 2015 and has consistently rated below 2 since 2011. KPB will host lunch and orientation at the Stella Roberts Recycling Center March 5 at 12 PM. Afterwards we will pile into the stylish community service van to conduct the survey. Please consider joining us on March 5th to analyze Pearland’s overall appearance. If you think of anyone else that might be interested, please forward them the information and email us at info@mykpb.org. |
