The Kempthorne Family is so passionate about keeping our community clean that they have adopted a mile of road on Summit Valley Drive, between Westpark Drive and Parkwest Central near McClendon Park.
Signs have been posted by the Harris County Commissioners Office on Summit Valley (see picture above).
Dawn Kempthorne organized the first Clean Up day for January 11, 2014 and invited the GMBAC Members to help with the clean up.
Saturday, January 11th was a beautiful day to be outside but, choosing to pick up trash that was thrown on the grown by inconsiderate careless people on such a nice day was done by concerned and dedicated residents of our community.
Harris County workers picked up the large piles of trash shortly after the event was over.
GMBAC is very aware and concerned about the general curb appeal of our Community and the affect it has on our community. Curb appeal directly affects property values and local businesses.
A committee was formed and the issue is being dealt with head on. GMBAC is working with County Commissioner, Steve Radack’s office to Adopt another Road in the Greater Mission Bend Area. Volunteers are needed. Contact GMBAC if you are interested in helping with this Adopt a Road Project to clean up our community.
The original Adopt-a-Highway program began right here in Texas in 1985. Since then, it’s grown into a nationally and internationally recognized litter-prevention effort, saving taxpayers’ dollars and keeping our rights of way clean.
Adopt-a-Highway currently has more than 4,000 participating groups across the state, and we salute those thousands of individuals who dedicate their time to actively make a difference to keep Texas beautiful.
Mark your calendars and join the Don’t mess with Texas® Trash-Off on April 5, 2014. The Trash-Off encourages Texans across the state to join forces and clear Texas roadsides of trash. Millions of pieces of litter accumulate on our roadways each year.
