The Villard Avenue Business Improvement District’s “CLEAN, GREEN, & ME,” Initiative was launched in Spring 2020 and focuses on providing a clean environment for all to live, work, and play. Additionally, we aim to build and maintain green infrastructure and remediating Brownfield blight. Furthermore, we promote environmental conservation education and awareness. We also promote personal health and wellnesp by providing access to fresh and sustainable food, and encouraging and identifying local physical activities for our neighbors to partake in.
Our top 3 priorities are to:
1. SUPPORT: a clean community for all to work, live, and play.
2. PROMOTE: green infrastructure & environmental awareness.
3. ENCOURAGE: personal health and wellness by promoting sustainable food & encouraging our community to participate in local based physical activities to improve their overall health.
