“We did a cleanup in October at the Lovejoy Monument and it was well attended,” said ABCCC Chairman Carolyn Gronemeier. “We wanted to do more beautification projects in the City besides the two City-Wide Litter Cleanups and the fountain area at State and Belle Streets is highly trafficked, visible area. I hope that members of the community can join us like they did last month for this beautification project.”
Created in 2004, ABCCC is a group of citizen volunteers who are appointed by and report to the Mayor and City Council. The goal of the Committee is to enhance the overall visual appearance of the City and the quality of life in Alton. ABCCC is the primary coordinator for the two City-Wide Litter Cleanups. ABCCC meets the first Thursday of each month at 3:30 P.M. at Haskell House at 1211 Henry Street. These meetings are open to the public.
