What makes our City Beautiful?

What makes our city beautiful? Plants, trees, renovated historical buildings, updated parks, and litter free highways. Sure, these things contribute to the beauty of the city but as a resident of Thomasville you are what makes Thomasville Beautiful far and beyond the plants and trees.
Without devoted individuals Thomasville would not have the flowers, beautiful renovations, improved parks, and litter free roads. The effort to keep Thomasville beautiful is a group effort and Thomasville needs everyone to pitch in. You do not have to possess any special talent but only make small changes that ensure you are adding to Thomasville’s beauty, not subtracting.
Adding to Thomasville’s beauty can be as simple as keeping a trash bag in your car to avoid throwing it on the roadways or picking up trash you see on your walk around town. Enjoying the newly renovated Fair Grove Park and make sure it is kept free from litter.
What is in it for you? If knowing you have contributed to the beauty of Thomasville is not enough for you to take action think about it from an economic standpoint. For instance litter on the roadways not only looks horrible but also brings down the value of your home, slows down economic development, and can cost you money through ways of fines and higher taxes.
In Thomasville there are numerous ways to pitch in and beautify the city. For instance, adopt a street or spot which is a specific area or park in town and keep it free from litter. Nominate a “Yard of the Week” to praise those who are keeping their property beautiful. If you have participated in the past with adopt a street or spot, or would like to participate please contact the Beautification Committee at (336) 475-4219 or citybeautificationtville@gmail.com to update your information or get involved.
