The Cleanest Streets Contest is a community-driven initiative that seeks to unify neighbors and beautify streets. Teams from participating streets competed for five awards: Most Creative Design; Best Landscaping; Best Curb Appeal; Nuestra CDC Street Captain; and Intergenerational Collaboration.
A cookout and CommUNITY Resource Fair will also take place between 12:30 and 2:30 PM in the Rear Parking Lot at the Thomas Atkins Apartments at 225 Blue Hill Avenue in Roxbury. The CommUNITY Resource Fair will connect community residents with programs, services, and enable them to learn about resources available in the community.
