Public area maintenance program within improvement districtlast year, the main street district clean & safe team removed 151,661 pounds of trash from the district. In addition, our beautification program requires us to complete two seasonal plantings every year in the spring and fall for 154 hanging baskets and 89 large planters. This requires watering three times per week. In the fall, our atlv vacuums leaves from the street along with other debris (430 hours over the course of the year). Supplemental services are also offered to the City (i.e., mowing of grassy areas). The ambassadors assisted in the clean-up of many major events in the main street district, including soda City market, sc pride, the latin festival, etc.
