Leaving LaGrange Better Than We Found It, City Litter Pickup Event
The public is invited to join the City of LaGrange for its monthly litter clean-up event Saturday, June 15, 8:00-10:00 a.m. The group will meet on the second segment of The Thread in Eastside Park, 240 Street. This event will be a Pop-up Event for The Thread. We are proud to have our community partner for this event be the LaGrange Housing Authority. City Manager Meg Kelsey wanted to send a message to the community that the City of LaGrange is serious about cleaning up litter and rolled out the city’s campaign, “Leaving LaGrange Better Than We Found It.” The City of LaGrange closed non-essential business April 20, 2018 and hundreds of employees picked up trash throughout the community.
