The next event in Evansville’s Block-by-Block Neighborhood Cleanup series will take place this Friday, July 18, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the Lamasco Neighborhood.
Please note that this is one week earlier than originally announced.
This hands-on beautification effort invites the public to join city staff and community partners in picking up litter, trimming weeds, mowing grass, and assisting with other neighborhood revitalization efforts. Volunteers are encouraged to gather at Eleventh Avenue Park; more details (and the volunteer sign-up form) are available at www.evansvillegov.org/block.
Mayor Stephanie Terry launched Block-by-Block in August 2024 as part of her administration’s commitment to Neighborhood Revitalization, which is a cornerstone of her strategic vision for Evansville.
“Block-by-Block is about more than just cleaning up our neighborhoods,” Mayor Terry said. “It’s about building pride, creating connection, and showing that every neighborhood in our city matters. When we show up together to take care of our shared spaces, we create stronger, safer, more beautiful communities.”
The July 18 Block-by-Block is being done in partnership with Keep Evansville Beautiful and CenterPoint Energy.
Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome.
